No longer a newbie, moving up!
Curious what you folks do to prevent unauthorized use of your images.
There seems to be one segment of events that I regularly shoot, who feel it is just fine to snag images from social media sites. They then use the images on their own social media sites with out giving credit.
I place my logo on each image. They simply crop it out. I have gone so far as to lighten the opacity of the logo and span it the width of the image. They take that image and use it as is. It is not one person either. It is this specific group (and by group, I mean segment. Many people, within the same sport) that continually does it. As you can imagine, it is getting old.
B(*ching aside, I'd appreciate some input on what you folks do.
Thank You.
