I'm torn between a couple of things here....

Recently Hackman had a post concerning "Double-layer protection"
If I'm reading correctly, soon the capability to (save) images to ones hard drive will not be allowed.
I personally have a problem with this in the fact that I am currently (saving) images I like to my hard drive
for the purpose of "finding my style".
I have been taught that if you pull pictures from mags that you like, sooner or later you will be able to see a style develop.
I currently have 12 images in my folder, and even with this few of pictures I can already see a trend.
I wish I could credit all who provided these images, at the very least thank them, but I did not keep track of who shot them.

Now Marc Grant has posted that some of his images have been stolen.
I feel bad that this individual has decided to have Marc's images
help his career in this manner, instead of how I am using them.
(Not sure if I have any of your images in my folder Marc, but I love your work)

I hope we can continue to (save) everyones images for the reasons I do, and shame on anyone who takes advantage of this capability.
