embedding a large number of copyrighted images

Hello.

Another option would be to zip up your folder full of images, set it  
as a custom property, and at runtime decompress it to a temporary  
folder (specialFolderPath will help here), access your images, and  
then delete the folder when you're done. As an extra precaution, you  
should encrypt the stack before compiling it so that the custom  
properties aren't accessible within the stack.

It is important to note that the images themselves can be accessed  
since they are being displayed on the screen. A quick Apple + Shift +  
4 and then a mouse drag over the area is enough to get any image off  
the screen. A watermark is your best bet for protecting your images.

Thanks,
Brent Anderson
