well I'm a photographer, and I have this problem all the time .. I've had to go to the point of halfway mangling proofs to avoid them being copied .. and I haved signs up all over my studio that state copying in any way, even for personal use is illegal and the same as shoplifting .. it's a federal law and can be enforced ( I actually had to take a client to court and they lost) .. but I can relate about the comment of intellectual property .. if people pay me for the time to create an image, then taking my talent and running to kinko's is unfair and inappropriate (and illegal) .. it angers me that people are doing that (selling copies on Ebay) .. I think it's wrong and I agree with all of you ... okay, I'm done venting
