Watermark or Right click disable is fine. But in both cases I found many to steal photos. With the help of photoshop its easy to erase the watermarks and even if the right click is disable, one can print screen the photo.
I think its good to point out that the knee jerk reaction is to get upset, sometimes you can turn the situation around into an incoming link. In general, its best to use watermarks, even though you usually have to half ruin the picture to ensure they wont crop you out.
Watermark or right-click disabled or just let them use those pictures and request for an attribution to your site. You’ll gain more traffic and backlinks with that.
I think there is only one way: using watermarks. If they steal photos, at least you can promote your web.
Watermarking really is the best way I can think of. Especially if you watermark your URL rather than just a name or logo or something. That tied with using tineye and DMCA, that’s really the best way to best ensure the restricted use of your images. Also, if you don’t mind their use with permission, let that be known on teh pages that if they ask, they may be able to. Sounds like it doesn’t work, but it actually does for some people.
I Would use a watermark and to get them off the other blog use a dmca notice.
well watermark is the best way to protect your pictures or videos from theft because no1 can remove or change water mark if you put it at right place…
Anyone that has photo shop or gimp skills can easily remove most watermarks unless they are such that they destroy the quality of the overall photo. The truth is, there is no sure-fire way to protect your pictures from theft. The best you can do is as benhames suggested, the DMCA report. However, first you should send a cease and desist letter to the thief, telling them to remove your property from their site. Give them a time limit – 72 hours or at most a week should suffice. If they don’t remove your property at that point, send DMCAs to the major search engines and their web host. Most web hosts, especially with the SOPA legislation under consideration, certainly don’t want copyright problems. Generally, the web host will quickly take the website down until the offending material has been removed.
