I guess, it is.

I do it with picasa. Its good + free + easy . For batch watermark, I had used faststone viewer for a while before switching to picasa for more flexibilty in placement of the watermarks.

Dont know about copyrights. Isnt watermarking also a form of copyrighting? Innocent

I am using Batch Watermark Creator, very easy to use and robust. It also gives quite a good options to use fonts/transparency/positioning - great customization stuff. In fact it also resizes batch of images. Resizing the image before publishing is another way to protect your photograph, thay way you always have the Best version of image. Logos cannot be put by this software, but that's not much needed unless it's about b*****ng. A copyright sign © is more than enough for amateurs.

Can see an example here...
