TinEye Image Search
"Search engine TinEye finds instances of an image across the web. After signing up for a free account, you upload an image or provide a URL to an existing image on the web and \TinEye will search for other places that image exists."

Welshwench's Response
I've been using Tineye for some time, mostly successfully. (I use the FF plugin for it which allows you to rightclick on an image and select "search image on tineye") I should add, though, that my searches haven't usually been for fractal images. I'm involved as a volunteer in some research work on copyright infringements for an art institution and use TE as part of that.
There are millions, billions, of images they haven't yet indexed (if they didn't index in a database they wouldn't have anything to run the searches against) but it's quite surprising how often they do find copies or even variations of the image being searched.

Found now also the other place I was looking for.
I would love to share some of my work so long no money is made with it.
Registering them under a "creative commons license" would also help in case of false copyrights claims.
