  hi!

  ive tried looking up this issue on FAQS and Forums, but unfortunately I was not able to find the answer. Can someone just get my uploaded images? Is there a way wherein I can protect it?

  thanks in advance and sorry if i was not able to find the answer on FAQs and Forums.

  yes anyone can take your pictures. you could minimise the likelihood by putting a watermark in the middle of the picture. it may compromise the picture a little but you’d be sure no one else would want a picture sullied by watermarks!

  You asked in another thread about using someone else’s image. What you did to them, someone else can do to you. As the philosophers said, what goes around comes around. If you’re willing to take, you must be willing to share. It’s the law of the internet!

  There are software packages out there that will “protect” your images costing a whole lot of money but most of them you can get around.

  One of my *cough* hosting clients looked into them once way back when but when his wife beat one of them in about three minutes, he desided it wasn’t worth the cost.
