Anybody send in CD's full of dcam pics that you took to the Copyright Office? If
anybody can borrow the cd from the Copyright Office, how do you copy-protect
your images on the cd submitted? Should you add some kind of watercoloring to
your images so that everyone will know they came from you, yet the watermark
won't be as annoying as the Station ID bugs on my TV set?
