Great idea! This site brings about 20 times the traffic of Flickr for ships photos but about half Webshots's mere 2 000 opening each week for ships photos alone.
I might withdraw all my ships photos a from other sites if proper protection and marketing actions were provided here.
There are such things as Digimarc that are in hidden inside the data and more difficult to remove and a tracing on stolen is possible.
https://www.digimarc.com/mypicturemarc/This at the present time, is much too costly but for the best shots of top professionals!
But to my opinion it will eventually become a standard procedure to use such a tracer.
There are plenty of ships photos here that would justify such a protection.
Why not take advantage of this situation now that the potential is here.
I suggest the shipspotting owners create section or mark the most interesting photos for a photostock market.
For one I believe my ships photos, like many of us all would bring income if properly marketed.
For now i only sell to local companies but the best ones, mostly aerials ships photos in ice, of foreign ships go without money rewards.
No other website is actually in the dominant position to take this opportunity.
