Unfortunately, images from this website are known to have been copied, printed and also used on websites without any credit - All that is asked is the courtesy of asking permission, which will normally be granted.


More seriously, in one known instance, two photographs were altered by attempted watermark removal and used in a printed book publication for re-sale. This was subsequently followed up and a suitable royalty payment was made.


Ideally, there should be no need for a watermarked overlay on the photos, but in the real world there has to be to try and protect them from copying; this does restrict the viewing pleasure, but is necessary due to the images being illegally copied and re-distributed.
