My husband found this information and shared it with me. As an IT person, he feels strongly that this is the bare minimum I should do to protect my digital images online in addition to copyrighting them. When I was updating my own files, I found some of them had metadata of Copyright: Unknown, or Copyright: Public Domain. For an artist who is looking to make a living off their work, this is not good, since this may be the only place people look for the "copyright holder" before using your images for their own purposes.
