Oh, THERE'S a good idea!
Randomly upload an image that you have no idea where it will go from there!

You could use the other option and post a url or watermark the photo that you upload. My images never get stolen so I have no real use for the site, but it might actually be helpful. However I think I will let someone else be the Lab Rat on this one. lol

I guess the whole matter reverts back to the basic tenet that if you're worried about having an image stolen, DON'T post it on the Web.
Personally, I don't much care as I have a good firm grasp on how difficult it is to exact any real money out of the lion's share of images out there, so I basically consider it a compliment if someone wants to post up an image of mine.
I've sold a few fine art pieces, but I'm certainly no commercial photog.

FWIW I've been messing with Tineye since its early stages.
While their library of cached pages is growing quickly, it is still very insignificant so a good number of searches that HAVE been stolen will turn up nothing. For ease of use, they do have a plugin for FF so you can just right click images.

What happens to the images I upload to TinEye?
Images uploaded to TinEye are not added to the search index, nor are they made accessible by other users. Copyright for all images submitted to TinEye remains with the original owner/author.
Search images submitted by unregistered users are automatically discarded after 72 hours. Links to these searches will stop working after 72 hours, unless a registered user happens to save the same image.
Search images submitted by registered users are saved, if search history is enabled in their user Profile. Saved searches are available from the History page, and permanent URL links to any saved search can be bookmarked or shared with friends.
Their parent company isn't some random Russia based shadow front either, and has connections to recognized photography organizations. Don't believe everything on the internet... but you can't don the tinfoil hat any time something new comes around either. |

So they say......8>)
Personally, if I had the paranoia about my images being stolen, I wouldn't believe their TOS.
