This is frequently done with the original creator receiving no compensation or credit, leading to legal nightmares across the board. But now, in the next stage of the technology wars, some of the biggest camera makers are launching new developments of their own to combat it. New software being deployed by Nikon, Sony, and Canon will assign “digital watermarks” to the images captured by their equipment. This will allow any such images to be checked and verified when people attempt to publish them. Those found to have been faked or altered may then be flagged and rejected.
