I'm just wondering though if we DO use it and someone manages to take the pic and still pretend it's theirs is there anything we can do?
I mean really they can use a fake profile on another site using a similar user name and what proof would they have the image is not theirs IYKWIM?

Hmm it's a lot to think about... honestly if someone thinks my stuff is good enough to steal then YAY for me not like i'm making money off them but would be nice to know my images are 'SAFE'

I always wondered this about all my original writing that i shared on line! Y'know, on forums five years ago (or more) that i no longer access in anyway....
What if someone just takes it?! Scary to think how easy theft of ones work is over the internet

When putting photos onto my Facebook fan page, I always put a large watermark through the middle of the image. I make it semi-transparent so it's enough that it can be seen, but also not obstruct the photo too much.

I use my business name (which is my name and the word Photography), but just using your own name or something like that would be fine...just anything that covers the image without obstructing it would be my tip - so that it can't be cropped off if someone steels the image.
