It is also a good idea to put a robots.txt file into the root directory of your website to limit what web bots can lift (providing the web bots obey the conventions). Thanks to Mark Roberts and Rob Studdert for helping me with learning this stuff. This is one of the issues we had to deal with on the PUG, which is an excellent one stop shopping center image bank. It is also a good idea to slightly over compress images going to a web display, as it limits their usefulness, and also to limit image dimensions to something fairly small.
