RE: need some advices

Hi,

Internet is not opened nor free. Internet is controlled by giant companies
Free internet is now a dream just read the license agreement people never
read.

read the book "when wizards stay up late" and compare to the actual network,
You will see that that the actual internet is at the opposite of the
original concepts

I don’t want to protect my images against commodore addict like you and me
:)
But against company that could attempted to use them for commercial use.

These day more and more people are selling emulators for old machines 
And even trying  to sell games and resources.

When I'm say that I'm not speaking of all individuals and group of
passionate people
That are trying to keep alive those old computers and are sometimes selling
at fair cost

But some large company that decide one day to put an emulator in their game
console 
Or cell phone.

Depends on how it is implemented.  Last such example I saw could survive
resizing and minor modifications to the image, though I don't remember what
the limits were.  I believe it simply reduced the watermark image to only 3
or 4 bits per pixel and use the result to replace the lowest-order bits of
the original image.  Crude, but effective.

If it were me, no.  Not worth the time and effort unless the offender is
using my images to make a ton of money or something.  In the case of the
original poster, it's up to him. :-)
