Good point Stormrage. Programs like Photoshop actually allow you to embed your copyright info right into the code of the jpg file. That way when it is opened in a program like JPEGView a little copyright window pops open. It makes it harder for someone to get away with stealing your art, but unfortunatley it won't help if someone copies and pastes the image into a new file and uses a smudge of clone tool to cover your signature. The best thing is to take as many of these steps as you can and hopefully catch the culprit in the act. For example; Some guy was showing a picture of mine around trying to get some paying work online. The woman he showed it to saw my copyright and signature and said "that's not your name". He then tried to act like it was really his but I was "the company he worked for". The woman he was trying to scam saw my web address on my image, went to my site and contacted me via email while she still had the guy on ICQ. I told her he was a liar and a thief and she put me "in touch" with him via ICQ and boy did he get an screenfull from me. Some people just have no scruples or shame and actually feel "entitled" to steal your art because you posted it. It takes all kinds huh?
