Truth is -- if one has images on the web, someone may easily
download the file. That's Life. Now - if you put up a file w/
enough detail & resolution to produce a decent print from some
pirate w/ an inkjet printer to sell as his/her own in their own
little burg -you're foolis & it's just tough tomatoes. An image
can look just fine on a monitor, but produce a lousy & small inkjet.
This is (IMHO) the only protection, in reality. Besides, in a decent
sized usage sale, the client always needs the original (or a high
quality copy) to work from. No one is gonna rake in big bucks from a
downloaded 70k jpeg at 72-100dpi. There is no way to prevent an
unscrupulous person from using the file you have up for display, so
don't put up something that will produce decent hard-copy.
