Today, thousands of people are constantly carrying a digital camera in the forms of a smartphone, a key chain, or a tablet computer. Due to the prevalent availability and the simplicity of digital cameras, the classic style 35mm film camera has essentially been replaced. This new technology allows for people to edit and modify their own photos, bypass photo developers for prints, and distribute images via the Internet or email all while keeping their identities and the origin of the image somewhat anonymous.  This paper presents different types of illegal images spreading across the Internet, and methods that are currently being employed to identify and stop those images from being distributed. Digitally watermarking the images to include identifying information about the image and the camera will be examined in order to propose a new method of counterstrike against the spread of illegal images.
