I really hate that reposting images has become such a common and accepted part of the internet these days.
I mean, the answer is the same as it was 15+ years ago.Watermark your images.

I did already acknowledge that part was on me, but I don't think that should validate the action. It's fine to take precautions, but the sad thing is the need to take precautions in the first place.
And on another note, I work for a company that deals with art and we have a huge database of artwork. We occasionally share artwork with a branch that does product in the UK. I took one look at the artwork and realized they had used someone elses art, traced it, and that is obviously the hugest no-no ever. Like WTH how is that appropriate for any large corporation.
It boils down to how much time you want to devote to tracking it / fighting it. It will happen no matter what, it's the nature of the internet.Of note: on Tumblr, so even if the person who originally posted the image takes it down, the image / post will still exist on the Tumblr of everyone who ever reblogged it from them.QuoteAnd on another note, I work for a company that deals with art and we have a huge database of artwork.

A Transformers cover artist (for the comic) just got caught tracing art from: other artists, cosplayers, and photos of the actual toys taken by other people! Really burns me up, especially since I know tons of great fan artists who could have that job instead and wouldn't "cheat".
Also watermarking tends to need to happen before you share an image on your webpage.
