Very Good! They could make a mandatory down load for PS including the same icon recognition software, to stop film users from circumventing the system too!! Computer just shuts down until images are deleted!

Lon,

Good evening. Very good trick, but what is scary is that I can honestly see big brother spending big bucks to do research & implement this.

Can't wait until they start taxing for the icons! $50,000 per tour bus at Tunnel View for starters. More taxation for our lousy representation is my motto.

I think the quotas are way too high... but im glad the govt is finally following in my footsteps, ive long instituted a tax for posting any shots of DA, Antelope, and Bandon Beach ($20, via PayPal) No one has bothered paying me, now maybe i can use this new legislation to collect... :biggrin:
