Most scanning software has descreening filters available. The immoral thieves stealing images are doing a lot of photoshop work on them. If someone is so determined to steal they will find the technology to do their dirty work. I believe Dan and others have made valid points when saying that if someone wants to steal theyıll steal from the web, books, prints whatever. The technology makes it easier, however is there really a difference between taping music off the radio and downloading mp3ıs? Bottom line is if you want to get your work out there youıre taking a chance of someone stealing it, plagiarizing, forging it, ad nauseum.

Fond regards,
