Who's using your images...?

Came across this site today and think they might be onto something: http://tineye.com/

Here's a real world example of how they used their search engine to detect fraudulent photo usage: http://blog.ideeinc.com/2009/06/02/fakorama/

It's still in it's infancy and I did a search on the Spanky photos that were borrowed from the thread in the General Discussion forum and it did not return any hits. :-( Perhaps in due time? Even so I installed the FireFox add-on, so my curiosity is just a right+click away.

eh...tineye hasn't ever done much for me. I've been testing it out for a year now and it always comes back with 0 results...even on images that I know that I've uploaded on other forums/webpages.

Maybe it doesn't search web forums or flash photo galleries?
