Watermark the pictures in your blog?

By the way, I found out that you can watermark all of your images that you're
about to upload to Picasa Web via Picasa Desktop (there's an option to do that
before you Sync to Web). I found that feature very useful if you organize your
pictures using Picasa (and show them on your blog).

Problem is, copyright is implied on the part of the creator. It does not need
to be applied for, nor is there any _requirement_ for a copyright notice.

Just because you didn't watermark your image doesn't mean the copyright now
belongs to Pintrest (or imgur, or Google+, or Facebook, etc) because people
who didn't hold the copyright and didn't have the standing to give it away
posted it.

And that's why you can send a DMCA takedown request and they'll have to take

Might this count as “criticizing” or “commenting”?'

Interesting. I'd like to see a court case further define what constitutes a
"comment" on the web. Other sites do this too, for example Buzzfeed.com's
entire business model is based on taking content from bloggers and then
hosting it on their own site, without providing any kind of insightful comment
