i made a suggestion in post #18 "to completely disable the "stealing" of artwork.. you have to remove the caching ability of the images or use a JAVA based program that will display the images but NOT cache them. even allowing users to upload to a server folder named no_cache, under their username, will help a little more. " embed a watermark in the java based program so U will see the pic but wording that goes across the middle of the pic.
