Proving the image is yours is of no consequence once the damage is done...

Even with the watermarking technology available today, theres no real way to protect your work...

My concern is not that someone will intentionally use protected works for their own projects... there is no way to prevent that once you post on the web... my concern is for people who THINK they have permission to use images in the gallery because somebody told them biorust.com is a great place to get stock photos.

Besides that, E&O insurances rates are skyrocketing because of Copyright Infringement cases... the recent controversy with Flickr is not helping ease my concerns...

Mike.
