For Wendy / Watermark Question

[dbmcclus]

Wendy,

Your pictures are beautiful! You are very talented. I was wondering what font type you use on your copyright watermark. I like it! It looks similar to Comic Sans, but i do not think that is correct. Thanks.

Hi Dennis ...

For what it's worth, copyright is inherent in a fixed work and no copyright notice is required to preserve your rights (this is a change from the old days but true since late 1980s). That said, some prefer to include copyright notices as somewhat of a warning that "I'll enforce my rights," or something like a watermark to help make piracy more difficult because they are hard to edit out (although many you see can easily be cropped off). (Copyright notices may affect recoverable damages claims in some jurisdictions.) Here are a few articles on this:
