Not sure what the laws are in the UK but in the US, just because you put a copyright on your image, doesn't mean it's protected. It has to be registered with the Copyright Bureau in the US for you to take any legal action. As it is, if someone takes your image (with a subtle copyright notice) and places it on a website for viewing, no harm done (relatively). However, if that image is taken and placed on say Sutton's site to be sold, and Sutton does sell say 100 copies, unless your image is legally registered, there is no easy legal recourse to be taken.
FWIW
