For those who put "Do Not Copy" as watermarks for your picture

Why do you put "Do Not Copy" instead of your name? Anyone could still copy your picture and pretend the picture is their's that they do not want other people stealing.

    Because somebody could still steal your picture with your name on it and pretend it's their name or blog name.

    Watermark or not, if someone wants to steal your photo they will.  I've had people steal every photo off my blog, even though there was a watermark with my business name and the blog is right-click disabled.

    I don't put my usual watermark because I'm not allowed to use that here (it's my business name) and if I use my nest name it wouldn't make sense to use that photo somewhere other than the nest, which I sometimes do.  I guess when it comes down to it, I'm too lazy to make a third copy of my photo with another watermark specifically for the nest, so 'do not copy' it is.

    IMO watermarks are stupid.  You aren't going to prevent anything by having that on your picture.  Someone wants to take it (watermark or not)...they will.

    Okay, I'm still pretty new here -- why do people "steal" photos?  I don't want to start anything, but I've seen this mentioned several times and I'm missing something.  Thanks.
