You can't really have images installed on your site, that are not hotlink protected. And expect that people will not use them after finding them in google image search. I've seen this argument many times on other sites about images. The bottom line is this, if you don't want others using them. You should watermark them and enable hotlink protection right from the very word go.

If your just going to upload them without watermarks, and also not even enable hotlink protection so there not advertised in Google images for anybody to use and get. I really don't see your complaint to be honest, you've left yourself wide open. There could be a thousand other sites out there by now using your images that your totally un-aware off.

I once knew a guy who created fantastic banner logo's, he went on to create header logos for cash for businesses. The same happened to him. He uploaded demo's without watermarks. And everybody used them. He had the same argument as this thread. But everybody told him it was his own silly mistake for not watermarking them as demo's.
