Digimarc enable you to embed an invisible watermark (there may be some
degrading of the image). This watermark contains your copyright information,
which can be read by a 'reader'
There is also a 'spider' program that actively searches the web for your
images. Of course this doesn't prevent people stealing images, or there is
no way to track images that are stolen and not posted elsewhere on the web.
I guess some people will use a los res print from a web image if it's free.

I remember hearing of a way to include text or other info in an image, such
as a copyright notice, that could not be seen. A web search could then find
these images/text that have been copied and used on the web. I know this
wouldn't stop theft, but it might give you the ability to track them down.
Any ideas?
