Well a friend of mine at another site just recently found out that people swipe his pics as well as others on the site and use it for there own money making purposes. Now if your a crappy photo guy like me, no worries. It would almost be hilarious to see mine at a macna convention! But seriously, He does take good pics of his own fish and a certain someone used it for his own, claiming it as his own. So if you value your pics...use water marks or other things to identify it as your own. Unfortunately, plagarism is a serious offense and can ruin careers as well as reputations. But like the web itself, it cannot be totally policed. Just be careful. And report those who do steal without giving proper credit. good luck and take care.
