Matt's comment about image size leads me to wonder what members of the MCN community think is the biggest possible image that would not be worth stealing for financial gain. Here we have settled on 500 pixel images, but that was fairly arbitrary.

Or if certain particular groups of users like zooming? I often find zooming irritating. I would mostly rather have a single, somewhat larger full view of an image than to zoom in on just a piece of the image, even if the detail is not as good. Zooming takes more clicks & drags, and then I end up with something where I can't really see the work. I just wonder sometimes if the effort we put into zoom is worthwhile. Should we just make the images bigger? I know that ours could be a lot bigger before it's possible to get any financial gain by stealing them.
