Our firm specializes in representing artists that have been ripped off by less-than-ethical companies, and we see this sort of thing happening more and more as the internet makes images and designs easier to access. I would add one important note to the piece: If you are going to be circulating your work to the public, you should first file a copyright registration with the U.S.P.T.O. Doing so is not expensive, and provides a number of benefits, such as the ability to recover your attorneys' fees.

It makes the image inviable in a sense. What a great post! Some sites like flickr also offer to place a filter over the image so that can’t right click or drag the image off.

I have seen my illustrations appropriated around the web, even some illustrator friends have seen my stuff. I've done my best to ask for cease & desist, but the reality is that any legal fees will far outweight what you might stand to get. I hate watermarking my stuff, but I feel I have no other option. And even that can be worked around. Another nice direct, no-nonsense article.
