"So how do you steal half a photograph? In this case Mr. Xeero used the sky from the above original photograph and photoshopped it into an image of his own from New Zealand."

I don't understand what all the hubbub is about. This kind of crap goes on all the time. The only way it's going to be brought to a halt is if somebody comes up with a good way to lock down a photograph that's on the web and make it impossible to steal. Unfortunately, it probably ain't gonna happen. There are some locking methods around already, but the problem with all of them is that in order for me to see a picture, my browser has to download it to my computer. Once it's physically on my computer I can grab it. We probably could come up with a general way to encrypt the pics -- pretty much the way we're handling encrypted stuff on the web right now, but I haven't heard of any such thing. Has anybody?
