time trying to prove that yours is the original......

Unless of course you never release a full 100% file, a slight crop, a
slightly higher resolution original, plus of course owning the camera
with the serial number in the exif may well hope swing the balance.

Yes....But I don't know what you mean by "owning the camera with the
serial number in the exif" means....Does the digital image contain the
serial number of the camera that took it?


My camera inserts the make and model into the EXIF information, but not the
serial number. Even without that, I would think that it would be relatively
easy to prove copyright ownership, especially if there are additional photos
of the same subject taken at the same time.

Problem with copyright is that, unless the image has some value, it may cost
more in legal expenses than can be recovered from the interloper. But
that's another topic entirely.
