Can someone translate a couple of Dutch sentences for me?
Someone in the Netherlands linked to a picture I drew (of my old school uniform, as badly drawn here) and the following phrases were used:
Bekijk slechts de afbeelding.
Afbeelding kan verkleind worden weergegeven en auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn.
I'm just curious about what they mean! This picture has a bizarrely large number of hits.

Gah, fingers working faster than my brain. Almost seems like someone's trying to claim copyright on the image.

Best answer: "Just look at the image.
Image can be shown at a smaller size, and be protected by copyright."
(That doesn't really help, does it?)

Best answer: It says:
"Only look at the image. The image could be displayed reduced in size and protected by copyright."
I'm a native speaker and I think these two sentences are kind of weird in the way they are worded (almost like it is a translation from another language). I guess what it is meant to say is 'this image is copyrighted, you can have a look but don't do anything with it'.

"Examine only the image.
Image can be reflected reduced and copyright to be protected to be."
