I've noticed that in the Term & Condition for the site, that photographs are the property of photographer.

I'm in full agreement with this. However, I have noticed that when you're viewing a picture you can actually download it. Which is why I’ve deleted all my albums and photos!

OK, it's a small picture and any watermarks\ copyrights etc are visible.

I'd prefer if the site actually stopped the downloading of photographer’s pictures. Unless it wants to sell these photo's on behalf of the photographer for a commission.
Comments anyone?

I suggest uploading photos of lower res quality and with your watermark as you mentioned. Most photographers seem to think that is ok which I have spoken to as that is what they do on their own sites. And I guess it is really no different to that.



Unfortunately there is no easy way to stop the downloading at this point as its not part of the software we use.

I've also looked at some other sites around the world and if people are sharing/posting up photos they just make sure they are watermarked and not of the highest quality.

A decent watermark does the trick in my opinion if you are worried about it.
