Yes it does and also doesn't. The internet can also make it easier to steal it...since copy is one click away from your home couch....but if you are a bit territorail about your work you can also protect it. I could take even more precautions regarding my work but lets face it....I'm lazy. I mean....if you dont lock the car cuz u dont feel like it...........are u seriously gonna be surprised if it gets snatched? :)
I am party not worried much cuz this is the only place i post. So if cheeta finds something outiside of steemit....I will know for sure someone took it. I have most of my drawing files in original and since they are only posted here the date verifies who posted first. But I do get your concern...and the question raised itself a few times in my head.
