Images posted in BPN forums are somewhat protected in that, by limiting file size to 200 kb or less, it would be difficult to obtain a quality print of any size based on what is posted. Still, theft of images from the forums seems relatively easy.
Does BPN have any procedures in place for the protection of posted images from theft, or could protective methods be put in place? Could the use of watermarks that would be difficult to clone out be helpful, or would they be too distracting?
I ask these questions in view of the member photo galleries that are now being offered. I hope that they will not become shopping venues for those of ill intent.
What, if anything, could be done to protect gallery images or other postings from theft?
