My Recommendation: D300S users, be sure to add your
name in both the
function. With so much intellectual property theft going on
these days, it's a good idea to identify each of your images as
your own. Otherwise, you may post an image on Flickr or
Facebook to share with friends and later find it on a billboard
along the highway. At least this way, you will be able to
prove that the image is yours and charge the infringer.
Embedding your personal information is not a foolproof way
to ID your images since unscrupulous people may steal them
and strip the metadata out of them.
However, if you do find one of your images on the front page
of a magazine, or on someone else's website, at least you can
prove you took the image and have some legal recourse under
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Once you've
taken a picture, you hold the copyright to that image. You
must be able to prove you took it. This is one convenient way.
D300 users should add similar information under the
comment function mentioned earlier.
