Which for artistic images is probably the form of reproduction the
copyright holder is likely to be most concerned about.
At the end of the day, a screen shot of a digital image 600px (or
thereabouts) on its longest dimension can't be transformed into a high
quality, large format photographic-quality image. The image information
simply isn't there and it is impossible to add it back in. If that's the
problem one is worried about, screenshots are not much of a threat.
