Hm...maybe I should watermark my art.
I haven't done it because I don't think my art's good enough to be ripped. xD

smaller pics uploaded, got the original in 8.2Mp burnt on dvds
I always put a represental copyright logo with name and year at one corner of the pics
then maybe I do something else, but hey if I reveal that it wouldn't be a secret ey ;)

Watermarks for me, Course my watermarks are different than most.

:) I usually put the watermark in a place that if the did anything to the image, it would be noticeable. Particularly if I put my Art Name in it...my logo is usually scattered everywhere

I don't protect at all, if someone feels like taking something....well.....great for them.
I tend to keep the resolutions below 2Mp, that's about all
