To be clear, I don't think of it in the same terms as original artwork being stolen. That's much more base and disgusting, especially when it's being used for a profit.
Yeah, I do know that xD. I realise I probably seem an idiot to you for not watermarking, but it's not that I don't know how it works or that the image is not being hosted on my server on that site, so there's no point in changing my file now. It's already out there in spamland.
I’m right there with you with watermarks. They hide details, not too hard to crop out unless they cover vital parts and modern image programs are making it easier and easier to remove them anyway. If someone is determined enough, there is no stopping them. The only thing you can do is call them out after the fact.
Come to think of it, that is something you might look into. You can add code so that when someone tries to right click it will produce a text box, and you can make it say whatever you want (like "Don't copy my images without permission.")
Quite honestly, everyone in the pony community is the same mix of people in life. There are going to be people who just take pictures and share.Some well known pony ID site took my ebay pictures without credit, and I came down hard on them. Just flipping ask.
If you're talking about the "Source: blogname" then I think that's auto-text from Tumblr. (Not sure because different blogs display slightly differently depending on CSS.)@Bandit Most people are not going to go through the extra effort to screenshot, although I do agree it's an easy way around "no right-click".

If I need to save an image, I will do it. (Although I don't share it). O_o I'll even just take a phone screenshot if that is what it takes. But yes, probably most won't.
Speaking of photos and eBay, eBay's new policy is they will even allow (and maybe encourage) other sellers to use YOUR image for THEIR auction, which seems like an unbelievably bad idea for vintage collectibles. (If it's a new, in-box toaster then yeah, I can see how it doesn't really matter.) You could be pouring over a pic of Cotton Candy, looking for flaws, never realizing you won't be getting that particular pony . . .
I'm waiting for eBay to try to sell me a real horse as a consolation. I'm sure the day will come.
