Here is an interesting post from Adobe evangelist Serge Jespers, regarding the potential removal ("photoshopping") of a Belgian landmark from photos in an exhibition.

Also, if you follow through the comments, you'll see a (not surprising, I suppose) link to a NYT article regarding photography and other imagery of the Lone Cypress (which is practically a California landmark), use of which is being disputed by the tree's owner: Pebble Beach Company.

Interesting article from Lorelle VanFossen:

I can't keep marveling at the great images in the Photokina gallery. However,
a little voice in my head says "someone is going to steal them...."
Of course, it's easy enough to "right click" on the panoramas and save to a desktop.
There's very little we can do to prevent that. And anyone can do a screen grab/snapshot.
I haven't check all the images but I believe most of the photographers put a logo/copyright
message in the bottom (nadir) position of the panoramas. The next step is to COPYRIGHT
the images, by registering them with the appropriate copyright authority in your country.
Because, given a chance, companies and individuals WILL STEAL your images.
