I agree the dirty watermark is ineffective for your industry. If somebody really wants to steal an image then there is no fool proof way at this point to stop them. That is a real problem. The models are public figures and they do need a visible online presence. That can't be argued.
My point is this, the lawsuit removes all personal responsibility from the plaintiffs. We all have a duty to protect ourselves from people stealing our intellectual property if we care about it. I know for a fact Avalos puts all of her pictures out on the internet for the whole world to see. Including pictures of her children and other people's children. That is why I initially contacted her in 2012.
The pictures that have already been released are gone. They will be circulated again and again. I see it with porn stars and I see it with soldiers.
For the new girls coming into the industry I think the suggestions made by the site in regards to protecting your image are valid. A scammer is not going to want to waste time playing with settings and editing pictures when they can get images of somebody who takes no precautions.
Same reasoning goes behind locking down our Facebook settings so strangers can't see our pictures.
