LOL! If you post print quality photos to the internet, then you are
asking people to download and print it.
If you don't want people to do that, then resize the photo for web
quality only.
I've had a couple of non-profit organizations email me that wanted to
use a Appalachian Trail photo of mine in their publications, and I sent
them print quality tifs, and a few private individuals that wanted to
print some photos for their use, and I sent them print quality tifs
also.
I know I love have over 600 Hubble and astronomical photos that I've
download from the internet, some of which are very hi-res!
