Since, as I've mentioned before, no one reads my journals, I am assuming no one shall read this one, hence, I will keep away from being griped at. Why am I writing this then? I must vent a few thoughts on this matter.

That entire entry seemed targeted at equine photo manipulators. Some, I admit, do steal the stock photos from providers who specifically request a note being sent or asking, or not touching at all. I keep my hands off of those, so, why does the one who wrote that have to taint the entire group of equine manippers? That's just not right.
If you want to protect your precious horse photos from theives, watermark them! That's why they are here! Fine, if you don't like the big mark slashed across the print, then leave it un marked but state clearly (which most do) not to take the picture. But then you run the risk of a theif taking it. It's like inviting them in.
But that doesn't mean all of us do that.

Like mentioned before, I am ranting, and I am also a bit confused about this whole mess. But nevertheless, I AM going to keep making equine manips regardless of what a few people say. The only ones I will heed are my providers, including [link] and [link]
