I couldn't read all of that opening post. Someone needs to teach Mr David the art of summarizing.
The first part sounded something like allowing your friends/relatives to buy those cheesy mall photos on an iTMS like store? So what they could sell a couple 8x10s of the kids to Grandma? Sounds like a biiiig money maker, iTMS look out!
Pro stock houses like Photodisc, Corbis etc would probably love some kind of DRM scheme but in reality it'd be a big pain in the ass for everyone else involved. Use of images could not be simply limited to the iPhoto. You'd therefore have to validate every app capable of manipulating, placing or taking a screenshot of images. What a nightmare.
Shhhh, I can't see!
