Why don't you save the file at 72DPI like all the other images on the

I am talking about.

I email pictures at 72 DPI and low res and I wind up with a picture
about 40K size. It is wortless to try to print, but shows up well on
your monitor.

Your advice is good but the terminology is confusing.
You don't save images at 72 dpi, or any other dpi, for that matter.
You save images at xxxPixels by yyyPixels.
For instance you can save an image as 640 X 480 pixels or 800 x 600
pixels. They will appear on TV or a computer as a nice sharp image but
will print too poorly for commercial exploitation.

And, converting to sRGB is not going to stop those who might steal, but
the size as noted above is what's germane. Have you also considered
watermarking/logo-ing the images?
