Are the images on the Ocean Photos web site protected by copyright?
Yes! I hold the legal copyrights to the images and materials available online. I include a copyright notice imbedded in all images to protect my copyright to the digital files that I create. The images on Ocean Photos are offered only for the personal viewing pleasure of Ocean Photos visitors as well as for the commercial promotion of my art. Until recently, I had refrained from the use of digital tracking technology on images presented on Ocean Photos because of the slight degradation of image quality. Unfortunately, all too often I found my copyrighted images images used without permission or credit. As a result, we have engaged Digimarc to watermark and track the use of the images of Ocean Photos. If an image of Ocean Photos is posted on the Internet or otherwise published without permission, we will be notified and the user of the unlicensed work of John Petrak will be held liable for license fees as well as other damages specified by copyright infringement laws.
