TinEye works to help find YOUR photo - the exact photo you ask it to find and variations on it and where it's being used on the internet - their <a href="http://blog.tineye.com/2008/06/25/everything-is-visual-introducing-the-tineye-mona-lisa-widget/">Mona Lisa Widget</a> shows this the best. So it might come up with similar eruptions if taken from a similar angle, but I use it regularly to check for places where my photos show up. Basically it's one way to help protect my copyright and to connect to those who are using my images appropriately.<br> <br> A note on copyright: If you want to protect your images, all you really need to do is to put © on your photos (alt + 0169) and your name - it gives limited protection. The best is to just register everything with the copyright office before you put it up anywhere - that gives your automatic copyright you get when releasing the shutter the teeth to really enforce it. If you prefer allowing use of your photos, use the Creative Commons licensing. Making your wishes clear helps everyone.
