Very true. I think I'm disappointed because we (HN) lack a good marketable answer to your last question there.
I would not forward this thread to a photographer if asked "what do hackers recommend I do to mitigate my work being ripped off?" not for lack of ideas but simply because it's just not what they want to hear when things like SOPA/PIPA are floating around. "Innovate or die" is harder to swallow when there are folks saying "We'll protect you".
Photographers and other content creators alike find things like SOPA/PIPA enticing because it feels like someone is looking out for their interests.
