How to protect your images on-line

April 12th, 2011
Very interesting article...

http://www.photoradar.com/techniques/technique/how-to-protect-your-pictures-online

I found someone using one of my images in their blog once! Blatently lifted from Facebook. The quality wouldnt have been good enough for a print, but the fact it was 'stolen' to be used on anything really got my goat. I immediately emailed the blogger and demanded they either removed the image or credited me with the photo and a link to my facebook page. After this I also downloaded 'Tineye' - http://www.tineye.com/ and regularly check my images should only be where they are supposed to be.....

Hope some of you find this of interest.

It searches around 8 billion picture on the net and sees if yours matches. Easy to use, you just right click on the picture and it searches for it :) @lisahutchinson
