Did you stay in a Holiday Inn Express or are you a licensed attorney trained in intellectual property law?

good luck finding out someone stole your photos.

If they reposted the image(s) online, it's possible tineye.com could discover the theft.

Embed images with Flash.

Also, don't you technically "own" the copyrights to any photo you've taken? Seeing as how it's your camera, your time, you are the one pressing the shutter release, etc.

Not if the photographer is working under a "work-for-hire" agreement: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf

I think tineye has along way to go before its a reliable program for finding the images on the net - simply as there is so much for them still to archive. Once they have caught up with old data and can start focusing on new data sources as well chances are it will become a very valued program by many photographers.
Also it would need some mass comparison feature to be installed so that you could have it check a series of images rather than just one at a time (which takes time)

If right clicking and saving is what you call stealing..

Yep, that's the correct legal concept that describes what you are doing if you right click and save an image you're not the copyright owner of.
