Laz: Unfortunately there are far too many sites one the web that already use your images. When I was new to the web four years ago, I found them virtually everywhere, and, naive as I was in those days, I thought they were sort of "Freeware". Quite the opposite applies to Jim Stevenson's SSD. Everyone knows the images are from his site, although he did only a small part of them himself. So he mostly gets credit.

I guess if you kindly remind people of giving you credit, they will do so in 80% of all cases. I have only one very bad experience with a guy who copied my whole starship list, pretending that it was "Paramount copyright", and stuff from three other websites likewise. When I reminded him again (the third time) and told the other webmasters, he started uttering mean insults against me...

As for Jim's SSD site, I noticed that someone submitted many of my designs for conjectural starships, using images from my site that have been cropped and converted to black-and-white. I've emailed Jim and asked him to identify the Starship Encyclopedia as the source of these designs instead of the name of the person who submitted them.
