Kurt,
Trudy's message is probably your best bet (you've
already let the horse out of the barn). Next time you
start to publish something like this, though, you might
want to digitally watermark your images (see, for
example, www.digimarc.com) PRIOR to publishing them.
This gives you an "invisible" way of marking the image
as your copyrighted work, and an automated way to track
copies of the work.
Good luck!
Karen
