To answer your question: no, putting my name on it does not prevent people from stealing an image. But if someone takes an image and use it commercially or claim it to be theirs, they will remove the watermark and that makes for a much stronger case in court, because then they cannot claim they didn't know about copyright etc. as obviously they did as they carefully removed the watermark. So that's why people put a small watermark in their images.
And you never know what people will be interested in, Jim. I had a silly shot published in an apparently very popular online Ukrainian magazine a couple of years ago. I was credited but never received any payment, nor did they ask permission. I let it go, because it was in the Ukraine for god's sake. What is one to do? But the one thing that amazed me is that of all the images I had in my photo stream, a crappy street shot was used. Go figure. So anyway, that's why I put a discreet watermark on the pics.
