A suggestion, I'm being nice here, that took me aback was the statement that photographs posted in forums were not copyrighted. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The actual truth is, and I will go into this deeper as it strikes to the heart of your photos, is that you have the rights to your photographs; no matter which medium, from being stolen and used by others.

Suffice it to say that photos and any intellectual property that you have created out of your own mind is yours. You are the owners of what you have created. No one else. This is US law and International law. This forum and any other medium is protected by these laws. You have rights to publish and have your photos sheltered from theft. Forums are a medium and are protected.

You also have recourse should your intellectual properties be stolen and you find out. These are strong laws.

I will tell you more here when time permits. Be Aware that there are some who think that all is fair game. They are wrong and your rights to your property are substantiated from the first thought to the final product by law. There are some precursors that you can do to make it less expensive.

Back in a few days with links to help.
