I know how we all hate the use of online pics for eBay listings 
and I know Genna is in the process of adding tags to all his pics to make them more obvious when his pics are used 
Well today.. i found that some are getting around this by playing with Genna's pics
Just thought to make forum members aware.. if they were already not 
Here is just an example I made of what some sellers are doing
Pic 1 as on CPU-World
Pic 2 as on eBay listing

Sometimes when I ask a question to the seller I always point he might give credits to the site he took it from.
Nobody ever does that.
And I've seen people lazy enough to paste a link pointing here.
Which has positive aspects... in a way.
I've seen pics stolen from here and cpuswe's db.
It's a wonderful world  |

Simply use a watermark. Hopefully that way lazy people will actually take a picture of their item rather than try to remove the watermark.
But... watermark looks ugly when you are using it for your site's chip pictures 
I'm sure there are some anti-linking scripts out there that 'plain joes' won't be able to work around. |

Watermark doesn't have to be large. I'm using script with watermark but in 2 seconds I can remove it from all pictures

It is sad that image thieves know to not link directly to the source image. Oh so much fun was to be had with linked images on ebay listings, and after there is a bid the item description can not be edited, so the link cannot be removed. How we laughed when the source image was changed to hardcore fetish pr0n.
Watermarking = useless
Stupid anti-linking scripts = worse than useless
Advice.. do not get irritated by it. .. or complain to eBay copyright department. |

Typical on eBay... they must have a web-page shuffling department
