Jon, that's the kind of problem I would get upset about. If you put those same scans on your web site with a (c) and date, they remain yours. Just because someone else steals them and uses them in another publication, it doesn't remove your original ownership rights.

As I mentioned before, someone linking to my pages would be a problem as well. If they linked to a page where I get credit for each ad view, I'd encourage them.

Yes I understand the problem that the chip for sale isn't the identical chip as the one in the scan. This could be a problem, or could be nothing if the chip for sale is equal or better quality. Selling a crummy chip and using a scan of a better quality chip is fraud.

But back to the original question. What's the big deal about someone borrowing a scan of a chip? Just asking about the scan, not all the side issues that can be tossed in, creating problems.

I like Andy's idea, put your name or web address across each and every image, that will stop them.

Anyone know a quick and easy way to "watermark" images? As far as the software is that I have, I don't see any easy way. (so I know I'm missing something simple)
