Not David, but to "chime in" to your question: yes, there are ways to
watermark images that would be nigh on impossible to detect and/or alter.
For example, random pixel value algorithms that encode a message into
portions of the image that would be unlikely to be altered by anything
short of the most drastic of manipulations. In the theft of on-line
images, though, the matter is simpler since the owner is likely to have
the high resolution original of the image, and that can't be recreated
from the lower resolution version.
As I see it, the protection that one has is limited to the lawyers one can
afford to fight the infringment. So, unless someone with deep pockets
steals our image or makes a lot of money from its illegal use, what are
our real options?
Best,
Neil
