" Interesting thread since I'm in the process of investigating the use of my "proofs" in full-color ads without my permission and without payment."

Hey Jim,

Do you mind if I ask what company did this, or do you want to keep that close to the vest at this time? Also, when you send out physical proofs, do you embed the images so that it makes it harder to scan/sell? i.e. a beveled 'proof' in the middle of the photograph but made vaguely opaque so that it is not too distracting?
