A lot of people merely use the Google Image search and use the properties box to identify the source location to repost/republish. So in effect it displays in the new location without actually being re-published. In a recent thread I used Noel Patrick's Scammell image hosted on the REMLR site.
It is the same as those of us who use an image hosting service like photobucket.
The only ways to protect images and text online are with electronic security measures embedded into the website or to watermark your images in a similar manner to the AWM. At least then while they may have breached your copyright at least you are identified as the copyright holder.
