The theft of art

I'm not sure if this has happened to you, but I have found my work on other sites that people have posted and taken the credit for under their name and in some rare cases have actually credited me, to which I have not given permission!
I find it demeaning to the photographers, the models and myself, who spent their time and effort to create these images, Only to have someone steal our photographs and claim them as their own.
If someone out there is masquerading themselves as having the talents shown in all of these images, someone who goes to work with these misguided creatures will be sadly disappointed at their lack of actual skill. I can't fathom as to why anyone would do this... and it blows my mind.
I firmly believe in giving credit where credit is due and as such I come to my point, I've selected some of my favorite images form throughout the years and have collaged them in hopes to make them more difficult to steal. I would watermark them myself, however the photographers own the copyrights and that to would be stealing to splash logo across their art. I've placed a couple of these images below, however the full "HellCat Beauty Favs" can be view on our facebook fanpage here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vancouver-BC/HellCat-Beauty/91334503918#/album.php?aid=144713&id=91334503918&ref=mf
