Here is a story about a young girl, 17, who's photo that was taken of her when she was 14 and uploaded to an art site. The photo was then stolen from the art site and used as a porn cover. They even removed her water mark so they could use it.

Let this be a lesson, anything uploaded to the Internet is fair game. Anyone can steal anything, even if it's water marked and on a secure site. If you take personal photos and upload them to your Web site, or another Web site, there's a chance that someone else can use it, even without your permission.

I certainly don't want to discourage you from uploading photos, but you need to be aware of the dangers. If a 14 year old's photo can be put on the cover of a 40 year old porn movie then anything can be done with your photos.
