This is the same situation with Napster and the clones of it.
I never understood how these geeksters could think that someone
else's product, music in this case, should be free merely
because it is now digitally transferable.

Whatever you do, please post your solution. A low-tech solution
would be to acquire a train conductor's punch, and then punch a
few strategically placed holes in the proofs.

I'm still new here, but lo-res is only applicable for digital,
right? There's no way to print lo-res from film, is there?
>That, or it's "work for hire", for which you pay big time!
Your contract could state that you work on an hourly basis,
and the results of your work, whether negatives or digital
images, would be handed to the customer at the end. Of course,
this would not work for a pro who owns his own darkroom, but it
could work for someone who always brings his negatives and/or
memory cards to a pro lab for printing. However, since I've
never earned a dime for any photos, I have no idea if this is
practical.
