Sad story, Dave. The only way I have found to keep people from stealing your 
images off the internet, is to not have them on the internet.

Unfortunately the web was never intended to be secure, it was developed by 
academics for academics which in this commercial age folks tend to forget. I 
have not looked into it but it may be possible to do something with PHP (as an 
alternative to Flash or Javascript), after all a lot of the secure websites 
seem 
to be done in it. I think there also is a .css setting that blanks the save 
image menu item which would stop the dummies, but I can not find the reference.

The problem with all those is you have to be something of a wiz to use them and 
if the viewer is also a wiz he can get around your attempt in half a minute or 
so.

I would send the person who submitted your photos an invoice for your standard 
charge and take them to small claims court if they do not pay it.
