(28 Mar 2015, 10:04 am)Tommy_1581 Aye, but I don't want someone nicking my photos and claiming that he went to said place to take photo of said vehicle.
I've still got the un-copyrighted ones on my website's gallery, so if anyone asks to use the photo, I'll just send them the original.
This is an example - of a person who steals un copyrighted photos and publishes them on his Flickr, regardless of locations. Many enthusiasts know him for just stealing any rail/bus photographs which don't have copyright etc. I personally don't want any of my photos on his photostream, over wise there will be hell on. 
I have to agree with copyrights ruining photos as to me it takes attention away from the main subject (buses). Obviously I know the reason why you and others do place these stamps as it is to stop other people taking the image and passing them off as there own and possibly other reasons.
My Flickr account is set to "All rights reserved" as I'd hate to be browsing and find someone passing my own work off as their own especially with all the time and effort that goes into my work. I if I did see one of my photos elsewhere I would demand that it is taken down, not really sure what to do if they refused to take it down but I would want to take some action as it is copyright infringement at the end of the day. If anyone does see a potential photo theft let me know.
Not sure if I would ever allow things like blogs to use my photos even with consent as it would be even easier for other people to steal my photos.
I am happy if someone places a link to the original source (my Flickr) as if they click the link they'd be taken to the image on my Flickr.
I am happy for my photos to appear in the news section here on NEB as I am given acknowledgment that it's my photo and it links to the photo on my Flickr.
