Ted -

 

Once a photo is in digital form, which it has to be to appear on the 

internet, it should have metadata included in the file info.  This is 

what the Orphan Works bill is all about.  If the photo doesn't have 

metadata, it is assumed to be an "orphan" and anybody can use it 

without compensating the photographer.
