Unfortunately, that's the trouble with modern technology....it makes it ALL too easy to steal other people's originals, and pass them off as your own.

And while I heartily agree with the idea of a watermark, Mustang (hiya; long time no speak..!), with that same modern technology, somebody who is tech-savvy will be able to use some of the more advanced "intelligent" photo-editing apps out there, and simply edit the watermark out; I've seen it done.

No, I think the only way round that IS to make your pics private.....and screen folk quite carefully before you accept their friendship. Sad, but that's how it's getting...

Just because you post a pic or video online does not make it public domain, you own the copyrights to everything you post, but it is sometimes a pain in the ass to enforce it. We've found our stuff on other sites, and when we email MOST of the sites respond and remove our content. We have had to get our attorney involved before, and that sucks but has worked. The biggest problem are sites based in Eastern Europe, they will not respond, and I believe this site is based in one of those countries, at least the last I looked they were.

Good luck.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that I didn't accidentally steal pictures from people.
