Scott,
Photo software also allows you to crop out the copyright overlay, so won't discourage a thief or reduce theft. There are other photo editing (and online) solutions to photo theft, but it would be nice to keep it simple.
I'm not concerned when someone uses my photos in a blog, but when a competing vendor uses them, without a please or thank you, it should be addressed. In Reimer's case, it seems obvious they are aware of the copyright laws, but are using their customers as the scapegoats for their theft. Maybe that is what is most disturbing.
