What rule of law would protected me from anyone re-selling or exploiting these pictures? In this case I have flea-market pics that may be of some commercial value for illustrations. I can't say they are copyrighted - so, is just the statement "(picture) may not be reproduced (by any means, blah,blah) without written permission of (the owner)." enough of a legal claim? Does the term: "(Name), all rights reserved" have any meaning legally speaking? thanks, AZ Maker of Lookaround panoramic camera. http://www.panoramacamera.us or keyword.com lookaround
