I hope this topic is allowed here and if it's not by all means remove it. I tried to search for a similar topic but did not find one.
I'm curious to hear what others do to protect their images from use by others without permission. I am relatively new to Avian photography (3 years and still learning thanks to boards like this) but over the last year or so I have been having a problem with the illegal use (not commercially) of my images by people....most I have never met or talked to. At first I was honored someone liked my images so much they just had to have it...but now I see the light and realize most people just take, take, take without asking.
What do you do to protect yourself and your images?
