Hmmm... If no one wants my pictures, then I don't have to be afraid of
putting them out.
And then the chorus: "So, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." :-P
I believe that putting a small copyright notice on one side will suggest an
acceptable use for the folks in good faith, leaving my notice there when
using my picture. The more people will use my pictures for free, the more I
will charge for the ones I sell.

I've found that unauthorized use of my images has only helped me gain
exposure. Frequently the unauthorized user provides at least a credit. I
think that making images small and marred by copyright notices only hurts
one' promotional efforts in the long run. But that's just my opinion. I
do demand payment if one of my images appears in a medium that is
obviously part of a commercial venture, but that's rare. Most pilfered
images appear only in personal and non-profit sites or are used merely
for comping. I also should point out that when an image is pilfered for
ad comping purposes, it may well be purchased later. But if it's so small
or disfigured that it can't be used for comping, the art director will
pass it up.
