A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? I had a D-List celebrity steal one and had a lawyer make them pay up but the US government is a bit of a different beast. I’ve had Cuba and Russia steal it too. I’m not sure it’s worth kicking that hornet nest.

I should probably copyright register it.

Copyright is automatic on creation of the work. There's nothing to register.

Good habit is to watermark your work.
