Copyright establishes your ownership of photographs and the right to payment for any use of them.
Photographers are no more vulnerable to copyright infringement on the Web than they already are. Photos posted on the Web can be easily downloaded, but copyright laws still apply. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act was passed and went into effect in Oct 1998, tieing photographers' rights in with the commercial Web sites' property rights. It is illegal to use any photographers' works without consent. The courts agree and several high-profile cases are making the public increasingly aware of photographers' rights.
