Re: FN-FORUM: Representing art on the web

I don=B9t understand you - either they are honest representations or they are
not

If they are not an exact represention, you are not depicting the original
work and that may have repercussions

If you are asking this because you are worried that people may steal the
images - I don=B9t think you will ever come up with a watertight detterant
without resorting to ugly watermarking - I think that the pros of
advertising outweigh the cons of theft - and the images are so small you
cannot use them

There is something that slices the images into several bands, hence making
downloading tedious, although not impossible
