I wouldn't dream of lifting someone else's hi res images, but there are others out there who would. Unfortunately, lo res images, thumbprints, and watermarks have had to be used to maintain some form of ownership of images which can easily be pirated. I believe that this is a major issue that photographers must address. This topic, perhaps, may be too general to be discussed on the Leica list, but I think it needs to be hashed out thoroughly somewhere. - -GH
