  You can't put it on the internet in a way that makes it imposible to copy. Difficult to copy is achivable but not impossible.

My reccomendation would be to only post a low-res thumbnail that would be useless to anyone who wanted to print it.

  You can also put watermark across the image. Put the words DO NOT COPY in black or red across the image before you upload it.

You might also want to look into the legal issues of selling an image of someone else.

  i have seen people on e-bay who sell posters and sort of "tilt" the picture when its taken so it looks to be leaning backwards. I guess if someone wants to save it they can but couldnt print it out right.
