What is the rule regards watermarks on your photos?
can you put web site address or do you have to use your AW profile name?

I was wondering the same thing...this is from the help page:
Copyright is automatic in the UK and most of the rest of the world. It is essentially a private right so decisions about use of a copyright work and how to enforce copyright are generally for a copyright owner to take for him or herself.
Do I have to mark my work to claim copyright?
Although a few countries require that a work be marked with the international © mark followed by the name of the copyright owner and year of publication, this is not essential in most countries, including the UK. However, marking in this way may assist in copyright infringement proceedings.
What about marking my work and enforcing copyright when I put it on a web site?
Generally, when you put your work on a web site, it is probably a good idea to mark each page of the web site with the international © mark followed by the name of the copyright owner and year of publication*. In addition, you could include information on your web site about the extent to which you are content for others to use your copyright material without permission. Although material on a web site is protected by copyright in the same way as material in other media, you should bear in mind that web sites are accessible from all over the world and, if material on your web site is used without your permission, you would generally need to take action for copyright infringement where this use occurs.
*A website address, domain name or email address is NOT valid as a copyright owner as it does not constitute a person or organisation.

It's a frustrating fact of life that any image presented on the internet can be copied.
I hope you get things sorted quick

Sure have but failed to get anything done after 3 rounds of expensive legal advice told me I had no leg to stand on.
I still need to start dishing out DMCAs myself actually & will consider this a kick up the ass to do so. Once you've been through the initial steep learning curve it will be quicker next time
Please do let us know how you get on - good luck with everything

Okay so I acquainted myself with the fairly straightforward DMCA process so if you give me a name I can use, the site they got them from & where they are currently being hosted I can whack in a DMCA notice for you this time
Next time you can do your own homework as I just did!
Just whacked in over 10 DMCA notices myself!

Okay after further investigation it seems I have my own hands full but it's not rocket science - just time consuming
I know what I'm doing between shows tomorrow!
