Re: Prevent indexing images <img>

What about something like rel="nofollow" ??

That's what we do when we don't a link to be construed as related to our 
page content itself (e.g. an advertisement)

But perhaps the right place for this isn't in the html itself but in the 
sitemap file - maybe an image:priority child of the image:image node.

As far as intellectual property implications :

A) It is not the job of HTML itself to protect intellectual property

B) If it isn't being indexed in the image search, then it may still be 
an intellectual property violation, but at least isn't one that is 
bringing new business to the site away from the real intellectual 
property owner.
