photos being taken via print screen

It has come to my attention that my protected photos are being "taken" via print screen. I did have a fairly small in the corner copywrite notice, but I have reverted new photos back to the standard "proof" to render the photos unusable.
However is there anyway to stop this from happening?
It is usually teens as I found out by visiting some myspace pages only to find my photos which were uploaded not an hour before, still with the copy right on them already uploaded.

The longer answer: In any web browser all images are cached locally so you can even go into the cache (if you know what you are doing) and get the image that way.
BTW: even with Flash apps there is a way to sniff out the images that are in slide show.
If you can see it you can get it - at that size and resolution.
IMHO: Concerning the copyright offenders: Contact the offenders and ask for a link and copyright notice. Almost everyone I run into that has done that will comply.
Cheers,

You cannot stop it. Anything that can be seen in a browser can be captured in a screen shot. I'd suggest using a better watermark that looks better than the standard proof, is less obtrusive (use something that is semi-transparent so one can still see the image), yet is at least as effective in discouraging illicit copying (or maybe even more so, depending upon how you design it).
