I am quite surprised actually, why are we so adamant in protecting copyrights to our images but this we are against?
Anyway, I don't know enough about this to comment further.

when someone takes your picture, put it on his/her website and claims ownership/makes alterations to your picture and make it his/hers, that's infringing the rights to your work
for anime market, fans do not take the work and make the work theirs. they don't make alterations except adding subtitles to promote the work overseas. the credit of the work still goes to the original creator(s).
if someone takes your picture, promote it overseas and make you famous, will you be happy?
i'm not an anime fan myself, but the distinction can be seen quite easily.
