Mutt, there is a lot that cne be done to protect content through copyrights.

We have settled a few lawsuits in the past for pretty large amounts of money....

We are currently involved in a federal lawsuit with someone on this board who stold our content. If you register your content with the Federal Copyright Office you can get statutory damages up to $130,000 per image if copyright violation was willful.

Having a good attorney is important...
If you register your pictures with the Federal Copyright Office, a good attorney will take it for a cut of the fine.

Go search for the thread on Gayle at Facon Foto and find out how much she got.
