First of all there is a way in photoshop and paint-shop-pro to put copyright info in your pictures.
Look at the filters section and look for digimarc. Register and you could code the important copyright info into your pic's, digital or hard copy. So this is pretty old news. But recently the guys at digimarc brought us a new viewer which works as an IE or a Windows-Explorer plugin. There is a version for the Mac too. This plugin will display the info coded in the image. Pretty good to trace your graphics... The thing is called Imagebridge So the only thing we need now is for Micrsoft to put the reader standard into their browsers.
Better if all the browser manufactures did this. IMHO
