- RobotToaster 7mo agoThe way most museum 3d viewers don't provide a download button always seemed a little odd to me.
- Geonode 7mo agoTrying to capitalize on merchandising, even though it's all public domain.
- dagmx 7mo agoThat’s a really unfavourable view for what is a likely an oversight in UI design.
- Geonode 7mo agoIt's well established. Most public websites for museums have galleries of high res scans, and they're mostly all trying to keep you from downloading it. There are lots of tools out there to circumvent them, however.
- dagmx 7mo agoThis is a tautology and one at odds with itself. They simultaneously provide the high res scans but you think there’s a conspiracy to keep you from them. Why provide them in the first place then?

- Geonode 7mo agoNot at all. They want people to experience what they have, but they don't want a small subset of people selling prints, T-shirts, and little statues. From their perspective, they sell excellent quality prints, etc. in the gift shop and online, and the proceeds benefit the collection. So they lock down downloads if they can.
- dagmx 7mo agoBut it’s not locked down, by your own admission.
- Geonode 7mo agoAlmost impossible to stop a determined actor from downloading media that you're serving to a browser. Most organizations don't have the budget or understanding. They outsource their websites, and ask for it to be as secure as possible.
