Is there way to protect IMAGES similar to DRM for video?
 

Is there some sort of encryption for images that can embed details about where it came from?

and to add to that,is there some sort of image tracking that can be done? for instance, I add a tracking code to an image and once it is downloaded off my site it tracks ip's and shit of where it goes?

I think there is, I just don't remember what it is exactly...but really bro, do you want to do that? I bet it would leave a digital trail a mile and a half long.

if someone like Guba is stealing my content my lawyers would like an easy way to be able to trace it back to my site

Well, there is some software that does digital watermarking.. good luck for tracking by ips. Images can't phone home.

Yes there is. We have 2 different programs that do that (but since I'm not usually involved with that task, I forget the names of them). Gimme a few minutes and let me check...
