I can understand your position. I have read a little of your blog and I can respect your passion for an open internet.

My goal is not to put a complete lock on those images. I don’t mind if someone downloads the image at the Tumblr-post size for their personal use, but the larger size (2048 pixel) image that these feeds are pulling from is my issue.

I just want to prevent the full resolution image that is being cached on WordPress from being downloaded. I have literally had dozens of my images downloaded in the past and then published without my permission in calendars sold out of China. That is not exactly ethical, either, and I have a hard time seeing how it is unreasonable of me to seek to prevent enabling that here. That is all I want to prevent. There is a big difference between someone downloading an image at 640 pixels the image is displayed at vs. 2048 pixels I never intended to display the image at.

It is the whole issue of retina-sized images that I am struggling with.

Anyway,

I am sure that still offends your sense of ethics- I can respect that and judging from the tone of your prior response, I don’t exactly expect any help. I just thought I’d explain. Thanks for your time.
