WELL, YES YOU CAN NOT…BUT I SEE IT DONE ALL THE TIME.
SO WHERE ARE WE THE ARTISTS WITH THAT. PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME..
AS MUCH AS IT IS ILLEGAL AND WRONG.
WHAT YOU DO IF YOU SEE YOUR OWN ART DONE IN LIKE THIS?

We take copyright very seriously on RedBubble, and any artwork that breaches copyright is taken down quickly when reported. Any other responsible site that hosts art or designs should do the same if contacted.
Other things we do on RedBubble to protect your images include only displaying low-resolution versions on the website, and offering you the option of a copyright assertion watermark on the bigger ones of these. You can set this watermark preference in MyBubble profile

Thanks.
It sort of answers my question in general way. Still what I meant is what do you do about violation of such your copyrights. Besides does the watermark on your work really means that since your rights to an image are not anywhere registered?!
Maybe you know how to do self copy rights full and proper for images and the digital ones especially?
