You missed the point…its not just about protecting the content, but also about protecting his ability to control who gets to present it and who gets to charge the advertisers for hosting it.
A link is great, but its hardly the same as handing over the ad profits, is it…?
I wasn’t dissing your site Tiki, but just last week you posted a digital pic that the author from DeviantArt was clearly pissed about.

To think you can restrict how, and how much it gets shared is pure fantasy.
He is a Gobshite plain and simple. He is also talking about bringing Laws on to the internet and as soon as these Laws are passed the Governments will own the internet not the people

and yeah, it would be great to have a content ID system for images, I’d be all for it. there’s no such thing yet, but there is for youtube / facebook videos, sorry my sarcasm didn’t come through with that. the moment someone uploads an episode of [tvshow] it gets flagged, that’s why you see people upload videos that were them recording a tv clip with their phones or flipping the video.
