I was looking at an Aperture 3 workflow instructional video. In it they suggest putting your copyright name (©Bobkeenan Photography) in the IPTC but also to put the statement "all rights reserved" with the copyright name.
If I put the rights statement on stock that I submit to microstock sites....will they reject it, not like it, not care about it, other?
And what does that statement do for me anyhow?

Dreamstime at least removes all IPTC info from the sold image. If the buyer puts it online somehow, the image will start its net life (Google Images etc...) as an orphan. If the agency wouldn't do it, the buyer probably would since IPTC gives a 10K overhead to a web image. That's why recent copyright tracking tools rely on image recognition, rather than on IPTC. IPTC is faster removed by the sites/buyers than you can put it in.

Interesting... thanks for the info
