Two weeks ago I shot a soccer tournament for 12-14 year old boys and girls. 9 games. I've seen very few action shot sales. Good thing I contracted in advance for $10 per head in exchange for team group photos.

Anyway, I bumped into a friend yesterday who has a daughter on one of the teams. She told me my images are all over facebook, complete with watermark. The pics are on smugmug and are right-click disabled, not sharable, and external links disabled. These 12-14 year olds are saving screenshots or getting the images out of browser cache.

At least I'm getting "free advertising", for whatever it's worth. Here is my watermark...

I'm surprised someone would consider that usable, but I don't know what else I could do without making the image unseeable.

Anyone ever made a watermark that says "this picture is stolen"??
