Every method of stealing icons is easy, unless you're trying to steal a multi-frame icon which is only easily done with a RSC Extractor. Screen-shotting is easy, but tedious nonetheless. But, if you're going to go through all of the trouble to take a buttload of screenshots and piece them together, you might as well study the format of the .rsc file and make an extraction tool for it.

Umm, I'm not encouraging stealing other's icons. After all, given that they can prove that the icons were stolen from themselves, they can probably take legal action.

Because RSC extractors really aren't the problem. Targeting those is like those goofy posts we get every week suggesting we lock down the PrintScreen key. It's bogus. I don't use an RSC extractor yet I can get at any resource I want with a hex editor. I've done this, too, for certain cases like creating new icons for Darke Dungeon, using existing icons as a template. If anything I'd find an RSC extractor helpful.

Even tho this could have already been said, There are programs for taking screenshots. There is ways of taking a screenshot without being in the window. AND there is ways to avoid things. =/
