The problem is that there will be people who join for the minimum period, download everything in site without watermarks and then use them as their own.

The ones that take the odd image you have to put up, but taking sets and claiming its yours is where you need a good DMCA's ready............assuming they are going to respond

I know that I won't be able to detect a cropped image, but it would "potentially" find an EXACT image since they are all just ones and zeros.

Best way to watermark your images is using Adobe Photo Shop, here is how you do it:

1. Load your image into Adobe Photoshop CS or whatever your using
2. set your text color to "White"
3. select the text tool "T"
4. type whatever you want on your photo and size it to your photo.
5. in the layers box on the right of your Photoshop select the "Opacity" box
6. change the opacity from 100% to say 5 or 10

thats it.. I usually use white color text if the photo is dark and a black color text if the photo is white. If you set the opacity to say a 2% you'll barley see the watermark. Of course you can also set the watermark in the preferences of Photoshop so that you can just automatically watermark the images without making the watermark over and over.

whilst that addresses the odd image taken which really ins't a problem more a free advert - what about the guys that join up and steel the lot and re use the images, thats where you need a good DMCA notice, assuming they respond to that
