As soon as you put anything online it's in the public domain. It doesn't matter how many Cs you put in circles someone is going to rip it off and use it for their own gain. I'm lucky in that I have no talent to steal but many others do have. There is nothing to prevent visitors to this site from downloading maps and taking them elsewhere for their own use. Can we open a discussion on safeguarding the IP of the artist in some way? For example non registered users can only obtain a limited resolution and/or anyone downloading an image has their session ID embedded into the image somehow.

i say this because a friend has had a map shared somewhere it shouldn't.

Thanks.
