There’s no foolproof way of keeping your images safe online… but there are ways that you can minimize the appeal of taking yours.
Today’s podcast covers some of the ways you can protect your images from being shared around the internet without your ownership attached.
Signatures
These 2 comic strips illustrate signature placements that would require bad cropping decisions to hide ownership.
Danielle Corsetto of Girls with Slingshots puts her signature in the gutter between panels to make it more difficult to spread her comics without her signature.
Did you notice that I just took a screen shot of her comic without asking and posted it on my website?
However, I have acknowledged her ownership, linked back to her website and added ©Danielle Corsetto in the photo file info.
This would generally be considered fair use as I’m not trying to claim this as my own and I’m not attempting to profit from Danielle’s art.
