It's also off-topic, and it's especially off-topic because it was misdirected. The response to "my legitimate tool was attacked because people thought it was for X" should not be to talk about the problem of X and why it's important. It should be to figure out how we prevent useful tools from being taken down. Amplifying a different problem, the fear of which led to breaking a useful tool, does not help.

Also, if you don't want something downloaded, don't post it on the Internet in the first place. The problem you're talking about isn't that photos get downloaded, it's how those photos are subsequently used.

I would argue that recognizing the reason that useful tools are taken down, even if you argue that reason is not legitimate, is an important part of figuring out how to stop those tools from being taken down.

I understand the argument although I do wish photographers could be free to post their work without fear of others taking it.
