It hit me the other day, why is there no IIAA - Imaging Industries Association of America?

File sharers have long struggled against the RIAA and the MPAA. Most webhosts will shut your account down immediately if you put an mp3 or a movie on your site. Or a piece of software for that matter. But what about images? It could be a desktop picture, a piece of art, or just a simple little gif image that you grabbed off some site. The legality of this is no different than any other copyrighted material, yet I don’t think anyone really care.

It’s the big guys who can afford to really pursue the violators. And the rest of us? Well, I guess we just have to live with people stealing our work…
