I think that in such cases the rightful owner would point to the RAW photo on the blockchain and argue that his was published long before yours.

The remedy, in other words, remains legal. I see this as a tool for facilitating legal remedy. (Or have I missed your point completely?)

> his was published long before yours

That's not enough. What if someone publishes before the author. Say I buy something from other resource or even directly and publish it on the OP's.

You know how you can download someone's video from YouTube, upload it somewhere else and make money off of it; what's stopping you from doing something similar with pictures here? Even better, with ether.camp you're an "author" since you published it first!
