Not too long ago, I checked the number of images that were posted on the Ethereum blockchain and I also posted a test image (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3ee5575306ddc235b0586984172888b47e...). There were 74 images with headers that appeared as jpg, gif, or png already posted before my test image. It's very easy to post to the Ethereum blockchain: just convert back and forth from file to hex using a site like http://tomeko.net/online_tools/hex_to_file.php?lang=en. You might also have to calculate how much gas will be used. I opened a few images and I saw a couple selfies but the oldest jpeg is a certain infamous image from 1999 that I don't think anybody cares to see. I anticipated the chance of illegal images (though it's not exactly a novel idea so I figured somebody would notice it has happened by now if an illegal image has been on the blockchain for a while), so I haven't opened others.
