In reply to Gordon Stainforth: Strangely enough Gordon, Flickr; or its army of users many of whom have also fallen foul to this predicament myself included.
I have a website and yes my images are digitally watermarked, but it does not stop someone using them images or a body work for some backstreet blogger.
Since the birth of the internet it has become too easy for some with knowledge to commit some form of plagiarism or even worse actually steal someone's work, and use it to benefit themselves financially.
I have come across some of my work on Asian blogs, or some other far off place; were by because of my ignorance, I cannot understand the context in which my work has been used purely from an English speaking perspective.
Which does make it harder however, they're those who do give credit were credits due.
This though, is completely demoralising to the artists themselves, it's another form of control and we all know historically; where that has lead in the past.
We inevitably get pushed harder and harder and then of course we either break or make...we are on the very precipice of change.
