Seems to me the answer for professional photographers is to clearly *not* post 
any saleable images through Instagram or have watermarks on the image. or not 
use the platform for saleable images - maybe a single lo-res image to drive 
traffic? If a photog earning money from his/her pics is using Insta as the sole 
output mechanism, then they probably deserve everything they get!
