the "click ads" idea would work (not to mention it'd probably be a
pain in the ass come tax-time!). I no longer deal directly with folks
when it comes to sales; my stuff is sold through Second Ed instead,
and even the new site links to his page for actual sales of the
items.The "anti-copy" paper I've been using for the past few years
has seemed to put a bit of a dent in things, however. Scans either
show up with the word "copy" plastered all over the image, or the
pictures get tweaked and adjusted to "filter out" the offending
watermarks, resulting in a poorer-quality final image. The downside
to this paper, of course, is that it's slight grey color does have an
impact on the color of the artwork, and many folks don't like it
because they can't scan it in.It's like a vicious circle, man.--JMH
