YEAH! -- The Photo Attorney shows how you can search for copyright details on photographers you know, or don’t know. It’s all housed at the Copyright Office and available online from the Library of Congress. A way to search the Copyright Office records directly from this blog. Check the “Search CO Records” page. And while you’re at it, register your photos! http://www.photoattorney.com/?p=1717

That ties in with a “success story” circulated in the PicScout newsletter in which one of their clients, a niche stock photo agency, is deriving 50% of their income from tracking down infringers. They take the high road by viewing infringers as a possible long-term clients.” SOURCE: Marco @Fastmediamagaine.om http://www.fastmediamagazine.com/blog/2010/10/25/image-theft-copyright-registration-and-growing-your-income/
