I thought that's what you wanted to do BUT the Copyright Status is
meaningless unless it's also backed up by a registered copyright and a deep
pocket should you want to sue someone for infringement! <g>
I think you'd be better off using the Note tool or the Audio Annotation tool
to "mark" your images. The � symbol can easily be missed. I suspect 99.9% of
the people who open a file do not look at the File Info or the title of the
file - unless they have to as part of their workflow, of course.

Therein lies the rub...I believe there is a film due out soon called
Educating Clients. But "not a lot of people know that." :-))
