The Price of Digital Art

I just read an article sent to me that talks about some issues I've been about a lot. The article is right here: Hey look, it's an article.
It basically talks about how easy it is for photos in a digital world to be 'borrowed', without permission. And how while it may not seem like it, digital photography is an expensive business and just taking photos online is super-unethical.
As to how this relates to my blog, it's inspired me to make a statement. If you like a photo of mine, and you would like to use it for something, let me know. Just ask, I will most probably say yes. After all, I like having my photos out there and if you're going to enjoy it, all the better. But it was not free to make, and it was not easy to make. I appreciate your consideration.
