that is a pretty good policy nicole.
someone i used to work for way back when used to have me
barely fix the proofs so if the "client" just took them instead of making
an order, they would not last very long. she also had a rubber stamp
that said "PROOF" she would stamp the image with. this was before
scanners, when the only way to copy something was using a xerox machine.

a lot of the kiddie-photo mills actually have the "client" sign a copyright form
that says they understand all the photographs are copyrighted no
emailing/ scanning or copying, and all the prints are dye-sub printed
on paper that says "copyrighted photograph" and the name of the studio.
others know people just want to email "stuffs" to their
friends/family and for free, they offer a private-link to the company website to email all of the images ...
