Well I have had my share of legal issues in the past in respect to protecting my copyright, but nothing like what I experienced last week. I received a call from a major gossip mag here in the USA who were interested in discussing my recent shoot with Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborah Lee.
With the release of Wolverine the movie this story was "Hot" property, so hot in fact that the image that I had posted on this very blog was being presented out in the market place along with my storyline to the highest bidder. If it wasn't for a very experienced and honest editor they may have just got away with it.
Watermarking
The lesson here is no matter where your images are, you have to be diligent in protecting your property from those scoundrels with no morel fibre what's so ever and will go to any lengths to profit from others.
It is for this very reason that from now on sadly I am forced to watermark all images being displayed online.
