    <pre> Greetings to All

    I recently published a CD-ROM guide to American record labels (pre-1943), called the "American Record Label Image Encyclopedia." The Imagelib listserve helped me a great deal in advising on the pros and cons of various image database programs and other issues related to my project. Sincere thanks to all who contributed their opinions and expertise!

    Now I have one more question.

    These images are copyrighted, and exist as jpgs on the CD-ROM. My concern is that they might be posted somewhere on the Internet by collectors.

    Is it possible to search for an image that might have been renamed by the infringer?

    I thought about searching for source code. In other words, one can open the image as an ASCII file in Word Pad. If you were to select a string of characters from the image, is there a search engine available that can search image source code and come up with a match? Certainly something like this exists, but the standard search engines don't seem to offer this capability.

    Comments anyone?

    Many thanks,
