[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 94565, member: 1573"] Wow. Looks like I really missed some stuff. It doesn't matter where (this site, your blog or Facebook) you post your photos, you always risk someone "stealing" your photo. I, for one, don't plan to stop posting photos . . . it would be like putting all your photos is shoebox in the closet. [I] Photos need to be seen . . . it's a VISUAL art. But I will certainly make it difficult for anyone to take one without permission. [/I] 1. copyright data needs to be embedded in the photo. 2. a good clearly visible watermark/signature on the photo 3. Any photo I post on Nikonites, I also post on my photoblog ([url=http://www.ohkphoto.com]The World . . . through my lens! | by OHK Photography[/url]) which is [B]DMCA monitored and protected[/B].(the badge itself is a good deterrent) They will run a scan at your request (for images and content) and initiate a takedown. This is the link [url=http://www.dmca.com/ProtectionPro.aspx?r=cst4]DMCA Website Protection Pro[/url] Sadly, there are a lot of unethical people out there and they just need to be held accountable.
