and even if you could track the images... after you find the image that was stolen, you have to link it to an IP, then subpeona the ISP to give you the owners information, etc etc. its kind of a... not so effective method of dealing with the problem, despite the fact that its a really awesome idea.

No not important to get the ip. The idea is assign each user name a code that can be crosschecked to see which member downloaded the content. You dont need to goto the isp to get anything as you have all their information from them signing up to the site. I think the images being taken is secondary, to me its more video that is at issue now, though I would like to see it done on any media that is downloaded. So like this.
User A. signs up.
User A. is assigned code 339911
Code 339911 is watermarked to any download they make.
You find content on a tube site, torrent site etc.
You see it is watermarked with code 339911.
You crosscheck that code to see what user downloaded the content.
As being at that point the only person that could of grabbed that content you file a report with the processors. They blacklist user A from buying porn again for 6 months or whatever.
The watermark on video should be very light but at certain parts of the video it moves location and gets more legible, but never so much its annoying. With it moving would be harder to hide the code.
This is more of a scare tactic than anything. Everyone changes their T.O.S. to reflect that we have the right to protect our copyright and brand and those violating may be liable to being sued, blacklisted, prosecution whatever.
Sure there will be lots of issues to get around, but better for the industry to focus on something like this, then to keep crying about tubesites and torrentsites.
