How is this bad? People can 'steal' graphics now and it's not terribly
harder. Also, is there an epidemic of people stealing web graphics for evil
purposes? Yes, people steal graphics, content, html, etc, but this will not
explode with this new tool. If someone wants to steal Death Clock (which
happens all the time), they can View Source, save as, and upload in 2
seconds with _any_ old browser.

Personally, if someone wants to save one of my graphics, or mail it to his
friend, I don't see it as a huge big deal.
