we are talking about propagation here. its built so that the person who receives the image is then unable to forward it to somebody else. or at least they can, but that person won't be able to unencrypt.

its pretty standard, and working with e-commerce for a while now.

In what area of "e-commerce" is that standard and working? I don't know of any but I know at least one where DRM was tried and failed miserably (music distribution).

Moreover I can only repeat that DRM is technically infeasible for images because the images need to be displayed on the clients screen. When your eyes can see it then the lens of your digicam can also see it. Get it?
