Furthermore, who are you going to rely upon to inform you that your image has been swiped?? What are the odds that anyone, anywhere on earth will recognize the image as yours?? Bird dogs are just not that savvy & those who might be are cost prohibitive. I have a huge data base (40 years worth) that is stored on a PC that has never been connected to the net. When I post something I kiss it goodbye and hope all viewers enjoy it. International laws are no where near the point where something that will be viewed as trivial as a copyrighted digital image will garner enforcement. Hell we are still struggling with the Geneva Convention & how to humanely treat POW's.

Please don't select "black" as your font color. Leave it on automatic or select the 'Remove text formatting' next to the font name in the Advanced reply box. Those of us on Camel Dark can't see it very well.
And actually, if you read the thread, you'd see examples of things changing with regard to copyright educations, awards, and tools to track images. Yes, as I already stated earlier, once it's posted, you've lost control. I don't post my 'good work' that is intended to be sold later for that reason. But new tools coming online are starting to give the digital photographer some ammunition in tracking and pointing out copyright infringement.
It's going to be a long, hard battle but these things have been done before.
