I state the terms of use for my work.
I copyright all of my work as a collection and provide a link to the copyright office.
I trademarked the name that all of my work is under.
I use any number of watermarking techniques in photoshop and word.
I try to fill out all of the pertinent information with any image editing software I use and the camera I use.
And last but not least I provide information that teaches people about what plagiarism is and the correct way to cite original works.
Whew…as fast as technology expands, completely protecting content on the internet is close to impossible.
I’ve written some articles on this subject and I teach other visual artists how to protect their work on the net. I can’t teach it as fast as it changes, but I certainly try.
I appreciate this article and each of the contributors comments.
If we all share what we are doing and try to help each other out, maybe we can have a small part in slowing down the epidemic of plagiarism and content theft.

Thanks
