If this sort of unauthorized image copying impacts your livelihood and/or principals strongly enough, there are actions you can take: ArtistScope ( http://www.artistscope.com/ ) offers a range of products and services (including image and site hosting) that prevent almost every type image copying. The best part is that this protection is largely transparent to your visitors. e-Vue ( http://www.e-vue.com/products/imagestudio.cfm ) produces tools to convert images to the better compressed and more secure MP4 (.vtc) format (the pro version will even translate a whole site). This comes at the cost of visitors having to download a plug-in. These solutions both cost time and money. There are many scripts that can disable casual filching--they're usually free (except for time) but they won't stop the automatic image-harvesting. A good explanation and listing of a pair of scripts that prevent image saving from the browser and direct linking can be found here: http://wdvl.internet.com/Authoring/Graphics/Theft/scripts.html Finally, there is Digimarc's watermarking and MarcSpider ( http://www.digimarc.com/imaging/prspider.htm ). This won't protect your images from being yanked, but at least you can track where and how your images are being used on the Web. This costs money (like a subscription) as well.
