Mike,
With Smugmug, you can do several things to address the concerns of
the parents:
- there is an option to right-click protect the images, so they
cannot be downloaded (although as Moose said, there are ways around it)
- you can make the gallery non-public and non-searchable, so that
only those to whom you give out the direct link can find it
- you can even add password protection to a gallery and just give out
that password to those who you want to give it to
Of course, none of this is 100% protection; if a determined hacker
can get into Pentagon computers, then obviously he can also get to
your pictures in Smugmug. But why would a determined hacker bother?
