As JL says but there are things you can do to further your
concerns. You can password protect the pages with any significant
enlargements, requiring a registration with name and email,
confirmation email back and you know... that might put some
people off, put them through a hoop. And then there is the
further, you supply them to the protected page if they pay you
something. That does not stop them sharing it (if the price is
not nothing, people are more reluctant). Of course, you can't
stop all you want to stop, but these are some suggestions for you
if you are seriously wanting to limit access to your pics.
