to post mine - but I have conditions. If people are happy to meet them then they can have the image. But they must ask first. I got to this post via a post on Pinterest. If you don't want your work on the Internet, don't post it here, or have private blogs where you control who is viewing your material. I try to credit every artist I post, and value links that lead back to the source more than just "pretty pictures." Threatening to shut down the Internet because you want to use this public forum to promote yourself, but not allow the public to interact with the material you post is just silly. By all means, demand credit, and take down work that is not credited. But thinking that at home mom's who enjoy your work and are inspired by it are Pirates makes me sad for the future of art, the Internet, and mankind. Egrease - did you read anything of what I said? The reason I ask is because I really don't get your comment at all. All I can assume is that people are being alarmist on other forums and making 2 + 2 = 6. I want control over where my artwork is seen - just as others do. The theft of images is rife and you obviously do not appreciate the various ways in which images are copied, then lose their identity as an artist's work, then get used to generate income for
