Michael and Viv: doesn't a screen capture make the transparent gif

my work on her website and promised me that she used the gif with all

A transparent gif does nothing more than prevent "Right-click Save-as".
For knowledgeable users (and web spider writers) it's trivial to look at
the html source, find the URL of the base image, and load that into
another browser tab.
Presto...
John re Facebook: Yikes. When I think of all of the photographers (me
included), that have a page to promote their work on FB. . .
Yeah, I was pretty startled -- for about one moment. There's a lot I
enjoy about Facebook, but there's also a great deal about it that's very
concerning.
To put it mildly...
