As a member of an online store which promotes handcrafted items and art, I so understand her ideals. Many times people will find a piece of work done by an artist and will buy it at a fair price and find a higher-end market and resell the artwork. It's a shame, but what we risk.
Photographers have this problem too and so will place a ghost embossment over their online photos for sale.

P.S. I have to add that before we moved to Hawaii I could not bring myself to go to WalMart often due to their widely-known unscrupulous business practices. Bottom line came into play here - they beat the cost elsewhere hands-down for the products we do buy there...mostly paper goods and personal products...can't justify paying almost 2x more elsewhere. I am humbled.
