Thanks for that Neilio.
Just seems that everyone wants something for nothing. That still begs the question: how do anglers expect a business to survive that has to give away their product, or have it stolen?
In your reply (which really is more than I deserve for my rant, or perhaps exactly what I deserve), you mention you would let me have a copy of Photoshop. It is so easy to do, isn't it? But it is illegal and exactly the kind of unthinking action that forces smaller businesses than Adobe to consider if it is worth staying in business.
We have already had to battle tooth and nail to stop two 'customers' selling shoddy copies of our DVds on a variety of websites. That is the background to my little explosion.
I did notice the other comments you posted but with my journalists head on, selectively quoted to highlight the fact that many are not prepared to pay for access to services.
I'm sure you are a nice chap, and trust you will accept my apologies for the outburst?
As for watermarks, they can be lifted by those who are skilled enough in the art of the rip off, but it is something I'm planning. Shame it has to be on a shot, though.
The bank manager story was by way of explaining the difference between what is considered as a product for sale and what should be available for free. It would be interesting to see what worth they attach to 'their' money compared to other products like a photographer's photos.
