There's no real need to stick a copyright notice on your web pics - you retain copyright anyway, but it's no bad thing, the lamos who are likely to nick your images at least can't claim ignorance.
Hmmm... something I need to think about actually.  |
..well thats assuming that any of my work actually warrants copying!
I took the tac of simply removing the ability to right-click and save-as in JAlbum, not that the images it produces are particularly high quality anyway.
I asked the question simply as a friend in my nightclass had stuck a copyright notice on the bottom of his pictures in the last project, made me think alittle.
