"A new visual search engine could help photographers keep track of their photographs whenever, and wherever, they appear on the internet. The TinEye search engine, developed by Canadian company Idee, allows users to search by uploading a picture rather than typing in a keyword. It then conducts a pixel by pixel search across the internet, flagging up all instances of that image even if it's been cropped, merged or digitally altered in some way."

This is the technology we've been waiting for. Once this launches, everyone will have the ability to track how their art is being used on the internet. Then you can sue the daylights out of anyone who dares to use your work without your permission.
