Hi Folks,
Came across a new web service that may be of benefit to those worried about web theft.
The site is
TinEye Image Search It's in beta at the moment.
Essentially this is Google for photo's. From what I can ascertain, you submit your photo and the search engine will either look for it, or tell you if it's been used already on the web.
This could be quite helpful!

From the site:
Every day TinEye's spiders crawl the web for additional images. Using sophisticated pattern recognition algorithms, TinEye creates a unique and compact digital signature or 'fingerprint' for each one and adds it to the index.
When you want to find out where an image is being used on the web, you submit it to TinEye. The attributes of the image are analyzed instantly, and its fingerprint is compared to the fingerprint of every single image in the TinEye search index. The result? A detailed list of any websites using that image, worldwide.
Use TinEye to find out where and how an image appears on the web, even if it has been cropped or heavily modified.
