I had started adding a "copyright" on the photographs I've taken of my artwork because I've actually had my photographs stolen and sold on eBay.
Someone had taken a tutorial I had made (with photographs) copied them onto her computer and started selling them at $5 a piece on eBay. A person bought the tutorial from this lady, and when she stumbled upon my blog, she found the same exact tutorial. She emailed me to let me know she had bought my tutorial on eBay from another person. I investigated and told that person that she'd better yank her auctions off eBay, or I will take her to court. I had a copyright on the tutorial, so she would've lost the case had we gone to court. I had heard that she had made at least $200 off my tutorial, on eBay.
So, long story, short, I always place a copyright on my photographs so nobody can 'steal' them (even the ones where my face is in the photo).
