Well here is an alliterative, and may even create a valuable job for some hacker to create a virus (don't like virus's). How about creating a virus attached to the photo that would do some kind of damage to the storage drive, like erase it. If an image is transferred and not registered, upon registration a key could be used to remove the virus for that site. Then posting a very clear warning of the potential damage for unauthorized use of said image. This would scare away all but worst of infringes, if this could be established as a world standard then people would be diligent to make sure that any photos used were properly released. At this point the virus actually become a program (a good thing). How about it Philip can you write some kind of pearl script that would solve this copyright infringement problem? BTW I am not implying your a hacker, Quiet the opposite. Nothing but respect for you and all that you do. Lloyd Shugart Creative Director Photographer eMakeover.com ...
