Copyright is the life blood of any visual artist. The granting of licences for third parties to use photographs is the basis for the business of any artist. This is how I support myself and my family. If someone uses one of my pictures or representation of my artwork without permission then they are not just stealing the usage fee, they are potentially reducing the value of the artwork itself. Whether by a process of repetition or by compromising any legitimate image usage deals.
