Dan,
Of course people download, copy images all the time off the web, and
alter them, use them as mockup of ads etc.and some problably have ended up in
internal corporate brochures or other localized uses. But there have been no
major incident as yet. But the possiblity is there and when the going get
tough someone will say well the rules allow me to do this then it will be too
late to rein in the problem. Are you willing to let the coporations follow
the general accepted practice/ethics that exist now even though the don't
have to.
The way this read it basicly makes your copyright worthless. Of course
you still own the copyright but you can't limit anyone else from doing what
they want with the picture.

Has their even been one photographer whose work has been "reproduced,
adapted or altered" after storing their images on the respective servers?
Is this a real problem or just the sort of nonsense one usually finds on
one of the rec.photo news groups?
