The main deterrent was not having a clue as to who they were or how to find them. That was what prompted me to link back to myself in several different ways. There was one person whom I was able to contact, but only because he had put his name and copyright on all his photos. By googling his name, I found his website and contact info. <BR/><BR/>Dave, I think photo blogs and websites suffer the most. I figure that most of my photos are context relevant, which makes them less desirable to steal. Still, every little bit helps.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-24284669373185005652008-10-08T06:28:00.000-05:002008-10-08T06:28:00.000-05:00Leigh, I've had more than my share of content thef...Leigh, I've had more than my share of content theft, either from scrapers, hotlinking, and just plain old taking. I've got all of my photos watermarked, and will always do so. <BR/>Recently, when I contacted someone hotlinking to one of my photoblogs, he stated the same thing about not posting things on the internet. I took his point, and removed all those sites. It's sad, but a true statement to lack of conscience for those content thieves out there. <BR/>Oh, and having a link back to your own site in the content DOES work. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-83632222403856717672008-10-05T10:10:00.000-05:002008-10-05T10:10:00.000-05:00Leigh, I agree with you on the point that putting ...Leigh, I agree with you on the point that putting too many safety measures on destroys the fun of blogging. I know it's frustrating when theft takes place, but before I start to work on my things for ages to make them more secure - I'd rather stop blogging altogether!Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-10942574677282763262008-10-04T15:25:00.000-05:002008-10-04T15:25:00.000-05:00There's a good point - hadn't thought of the water...There's a good point - hadn't thought of the watermark acting as a lead back to your blog.<BR/><BR/>I might look at my own blog again in the light of your use of links, something to think about anyway.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.com
