Default Avoiding stolen scans....protect your photos from right-click-copying.

T206 -

Nobody is saying that person A has lost anything. The problem is that the people stealing your scans are using those scans to set up fake auctions on ebay and then stealing the "winner's" money. The losers are those who are the victims of the scam. If everyone took the attitude that it just doesnt matter because they still have their own cards, it wont be long before ebay is full of fake auctions and we all end up being victims. How would you feel if a high feedback seller decided to make one last killing on ebay by stealing scans of high dollar cards, including one that you needed, you bid big money on the card and then, after paying, find out that youve just bought yourself a photocopy.

I also agree that there is a difference between people who like to keep a "virtual" card collection of great cards and those who swipe scans for purposes of scamming others. This thread was started, I believe, in an attempt to stop the scammers.
