I don't trouble myself with copyright crap. If someone wants to steal your photo they will. But if you post only low-res pic on the web, I can't imagine anyone who can afford to pay would bother to steal it. People who buy my photos always abide by the terms of agreement. Haven't ever experienced a problem with that. I can't imaging why anyone would lose any sleep over copyrighting itty-bitty web images. Paul
