A while ago, Rick posted some great info on Flickr, with respect to copyright and how third parties can use your images.

I can't locate Rick's original post, but was wondering if someone can advise me on how to stop people from being able to download my pictures out of my flickr account, without premission. As in to stop any chance of my pictures being used/downloaded with out my concent.

When I last had a Pro account, you couldn't, but I let it slip by a month, have re-instated myself to Pro level for that reason, but people can just take my images straight from Flickr.

I'm trying to locate the settings for this process. Can ayone advise please?

Thanks in advance.
