All my albums are private, but that doesn't seem to prevent Photobucket from using them does it.
I wonder if there are any "safe" photo sharing sites? Smugmug?
I use smugmug pro and not seeing anything that indicates they can sell or let anyone use a members photos....if someone finds differently let me know please! thanks

That pretty much agrees with what I read on their site.
What I do at such websites is to only store photos that are very small, somewhere under 550kb in size, and this can easily be done as follows (I use CS5):
a. Trim the photo to perhaps 850 horizontal pixels, which in turn sets the vertical length automatically.
b. Save the photo " For Web," which results in a very small image that looks good on a computer screen, on the Internet, E-mail and such, but not good for printing nor stealing.
Here is a sample (notice that I left the number assigned by the camera intact):
I think you'll find that even their $40/year level service has the same rights.
we sell ours through smug mug so we need the pro account.
