Sadly it has come to my attention that it is very important to make sure you protect images of your artwork.
As complicated, difficult and impossible as it seems, there are a few things that can be done even if just to dissuade, deter would be offenders!
I have found this article which offers a few helpful pointers and resources.

It was also suggested that taking photos of artwork it at an angle and with some props saving it at a low resolution makes it more difficult and not as appealing to use for reproduction purposes.

A very complicated matter albeit not to be overlooked! I felt like sharing!
