Default Copyright: How do you CYB?

It might be wishful thinking on my part but how do you cover your butt when
you post a photo on a site? what rights do we have once we upload?

It might not just be about the money the credit is just as important.
let's say for example:

You take a great photo of your pets and someone Photoshops it
adding a few words along with his/her John Doe and for some reason
it turns into a popular tag for myspace without anyone knowing it was
your shot.

Or you're in a mall and you walk by a frame shop and see your photo
on the wall.

or perhaps you just start seeing it on the net in places you never put it.

I think you might get the idea. So do we have any right to put a stop to it,
demand credit or payment and how would we prove that our work?

Do we have to add a watermark or a little c on it in order to CYB or is
just being the original owner enough?

Anyone know how this all works without to much legal jargon?

Thanks,

Ron
