People are sick. I design my husbands website for him, and some others, and i've had to start implementing what is called an anti leech program on the images they are worried about.. because on Tuesday I went in to check the referrers to his website for him, and noticed about 10 different punk people linking to his forum smilies... so i immediately protected it. The anti leech won't help here though.. unless you have your own website server where you can run the program and tell it petoftheday is ok for requesting the image..

But it really the only thing to do is watermark or copyright it.
Those of you with edit programs, if you can't add a watermark you can:
1. Add your name and what not to the actual graphic.. in regular letters..
or if you have a more advanced program:
Add your text over the image where they can't just chop it off without ruining the photo, but make it semi transparent, sorta see throughy.

I didn't do any of that to my images on here, because I thought of all things, pet pictures would be safe!!

I'm really sick of people who are so stupid they can't do anything for themselves and take what is other people's as their own!
