So I stumbled upon a very interesting blog post about how your images/ photos are actually protected on the vast expanses of the internets. This is proof that you CAN protect your work.
Excerpt from Sassy Design‘s blog post:
“Sharing digital copyright protected files, whether it is design templates, digital papers, Photoshop actions, business contracts or something else is illegal and is punishable in a court of law. It does not matter if you live in a different state than the copyright owner or; if you shared with one person or thousands. It also does not matter if you are sharing them in an “underground” message board, a “private” Facebook group, a “members only” forum, or somewhere else. Sharing digital copyright protected files is illegal.”

Fellow photographers and artists, please feel free to share your experiences on the subject, as I am sure they are many and probably not pleasant…
