The truth is, and most know it, but there are always new users here, you have to realize ANY AND EVERY IMAGE YOU POST ONLINE WILL BE COPIED by others. There is NO mechanism by which it can be prevented, other than don't post it. There are methods that will stop the most cyber iliterate individuals, but there are ways around every method. Many just like the image and want to save it, while others may make commercial use of it.

That's what you gotta hope for. That's when you can really get paid.

True...IF... you ever find out it was used. I imagine 99% of the time they get away with it.
