Graphic Design Contests

I haven't been registered on this forum for long, so I don't know if this has already been mentioned.

I have noticed people posting images of work, freely, without any copyright. As it's too easy to steal art from the Internet I just want to warn people that they should always add a copyright to work until a deal is fully agreed.

watermarks are supposed to be used to keep the theft from happening.

I've seen other users putting a typo into artwork, which they will change for the final version. I think thats better then watermarks as you can see everything a little better (some people go over the top with watermarks!).

But then again, a typo could easily be fixed in a graphics program...

Yeah, stick with watermarks! I always insist that users watermark images on contests so I can't be accused of stealing.
