As the repeated victim of copyright theft I'm afraid I eventually had no choice but to re-edit all of the images I display and add copyright info and logos. While I do agree it spoils the image I feel it is the only way to add a little protection. I have made every effort to minimise the impact but it is a difficult balance as it has to be imposing enough to discourage theft.

Unfortunately it is not workable to only mark the borders as this is far too easy to remove. Even the most basic user of Photoshop can crop the logos out and delete the EXIF date in seconds and suddenly it is untraceable, I have had far fewer problems since I started watermarking.
