It could use some additional features, but it does at least allow basic positioning, colors, alpha levels, and custom text. It'd be great to be able to upload multiple images at a time and watermark them all in a batch, but I guess I can't complain since it's free :) I’ve been using an online watermarking website http://www.watermarktool.com and it’s pretty quick and easy to throw on some text or semi-transparent watermarks.

One thing with images is that they're not as easy to track online as text content. You can easily find out if a piece of text you wrote has been copied and posted elsewhere. Images, on the other hand, are harder to find, except if they use the exact same filename. Image hotlinking is easy to discover and prevent, though. It’s always a question of security vs. usability.

Too many folks try to tackle the issue of image copyright infringement and end up at either end of the spectrum: it's a lost cause, so there's no point in worrying, or don't put anything online. As you've noted there's no magic solution but most folks can find something reasonable if they use some common sense. Copyright on the web is one of the topics I have in mind for a post at my photography blog <a href="http://www.photoschooled.com" rel="nofollow">Photoschooled</a> and I'll likely refer to your post here.
