http://www.redbubble.com is pretty good - and it is Australian, too.

I wouldn't use Facebook - their licencing terms you accept give away too much (potentially) to them.

Flickr have had this problem in the past too.

Free + Protected = No.....

I'd look at paying for an account, probably either Zenfolio or Smugmug? I know Zenfolio offer password protected folders, a watermarking service (at a larger cost - premium a/c).....

Not sure what Redbubble have/do.

Thank you friends. I kind of remember there was thread discussing an issue with Flickr and copyright some time back.

Ah... now I understand what you mean by "protected"*, I don't think RedBubble will do what you want.

* only you and your family can see the images.

Yes, I should made it clearer, but also I meant unauthorised people cannot copy the photos.

RedBubble does that bit. You can upload full size images - so large prints can be made, but only small versions are available for display and slightly larger ones can have watermarks, if you prefer. e.g. http://www.redbubble.com/people/andrewt ... d-nautilus
