Comments on: FlickrDown: Great Utility or Threat to Intellectual Property? http://trishussey.com/2008/10/28/flickrdown-great-utility-or-threat-to-intellectual-property/ Social Media News, WordPress Info and Opinion from Tris Hussey author of Create Your Own Blog, Using WordPress and Teach Yourself Foursquare Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Dee http://trishussey.com/2008/10/28/flickrdown-great-utility-or-threat-to-intellectual-property/#comment-4565 Dee Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:49:21 +0000 http://www.trishussey.com/2008/10/28/flickrdown-great-utility-or-threat-to-intellectual-property/#comment-4565 Sites like Flickr should also protect the people that have actually spent the money to use the site aswell. I paid for my account for 2 years upfront. That should stand for something. There are means for them to integrate a better security system for photo theft in there. There should be some protection features in the application for this purpose other than what they have. And other than to watermark the photo as Tyler Ingram had said. Thank God that I am not a professional or that I am not super paranoid about someone stealing my photos for their own gain. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Dee´s last blog post..<a href="http://daffyduc.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/a-little-thaigood-for-the-souls/" rel="nofollow">A Little Thai…Good for the Souls :)</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Sites like Flickr should also protect the people that have actually spent the money to use the site aswell.

I'm just raising the issue that maybe Flickr and other sites could try to do more to prevent it. I know it's a fool's errand. This is really more of a general point and discussion.

If the person really wants your image after they view it it is in their cache folder. They just have to go hunting for it or have an application that will search their cache for items. Like mentioned on the PhotoCamp on Granville Island.. if you're super paranoid don't upload anything for the public to view! hehe or you can watermark the crap out of photo. I don't mean adding a watermark to the bottom corner of an image, a proper watermark goes over the image (like on a diagonal) and is really had to remove via photoshop but still allows the person to view the photo. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Tyler Ingram´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Tyler-Ingram/~3/430846921/review-speck-3g-iphone-cases" rel="nofollow">Review: Speck 3G iPhone Cases</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Disabling the right-click save-as option isn’t totally fool proof.
