If there is ever any ambiguity, stenography / watermarks can be helpful.
One can design these so that key identifying information is present even
when the image is resized or cropped.
For gallery photos, putting a copyright noticed at the bottom of the image
in addition to watermarks is also a good idea. Will make people think twice
about ripping the photos.
Some companies already use software to search for copyright violators. Of
course unless you are losing a significant amount of money from this
problem, not worth doing.
