I don't know what the copyright laws actually say, but it is so easy to slap a copyright notice on your images that IMHO, you always should. I put www.imagecraft.com/photostudio on all of our images in the gallery. The gallery SW supports that automagically so no work on our part after the initial setup. 2) Someone "hotlinking" your images. The problem with that is they are "stealing your bandwidth." If your images are small then may be it's no big deal. Otherwise, why let them? If you run your own web server, there are couple different voodoo magic ways of disabling people from doing that. There is also a way to display other images when hotlinking this way. However, I don't recommend it as it may get people upset.
