Adding copyright information into your photos EXIF data?
Primarily: get out of a photography mindset when dealing with IP, and focus on creation. Copyright isn't limited to photography, and it doesn't change for other types of creations (music, books, etc).
For images, what matters is who created the image, and if a photograph and someone else pressed the shutter button, documentation that assigns the rights to that photo to you.
If you wish to sue for more than actual damages, the image must be registered with the copyright office. Otherwise you are limited (thank you DMCA >
) in what you can do.Join the Copyright Alliance (copyright.org) if you want to support artists' rights.
i digress. It’s a sore subject for many of us.

All they need to do is prove reasonable doubt, as well as prove that you even lost any money in the deal. The community is still pushing to get more, like it doesn’t matter what I lost, this was a creation that I have spent weeks, months, years, decades(!!!) working on. Is my time and my own, one of a kind, creation, not worth anything at all? Apparently the person who stole it thought it was quite valuable to them....

No worries.
I'll say it again: copyrightalliance.org
They are currently trying to drum up influence to gain congressional support for the CASE act. That's the idea of a (federal) small claims court for issues. We need that badly.
