Thanking You
Dolores By not posting it on the web. Sorry, -this is the only best answer that you'll get to that question. :o
Your then-recourse, is to copyright the material and possible have some form of notary, and if anyone is found selling it, you sue their stealin' butts... :eek:

Actually, publishing it on the Web is a legal copyright notice.

Copyright protection begins when any of the above described work is actually created and fixed in a tangible form.
posting on the Web is a "tangible form." Check here (http://www.whatiscopyright.org/) for additional information.

However, what WebJoel is true.

Implied was to add the "&copy;" symbol, to remind people that it is proprietary work. Often, a quick legal note and 'copyright' symbol is enough to stop most people and, it can be said later on that the original has a "copyright notice" advising do not steal the material, so the party of the first part cannot claim ignorance of the fact.
Sometimes, work published 'online' is provided open-source and non-royalty/non-loyality (i.e., images, free to use however, no request to provide renumeration, back-link or creditation to actual author).

Myself, -I'm more concerned that if the material were high-quality images that someone would 'hotlink' them into their own site, and *I* get the bandwidth consumption to the benefit of their site.. -There is however, a ".htaccess" method to stop 'hotlinking' of images, -which is imho, is also theft.
