This is why we shoot RAW.
The likelihood of a RAW file making its way into someone else's hands is very remote, unless a contract stipulates that a RAW is to be handed over to a client (typically in cases where they wish to process the image themselves). Much like handing over your negative to someone to enlarge.

In regard to photo copyright at one time all photos were taken and stored on film. If you had the original negatives you had a pretty air tight case for copyright ownership. However with digital photography ownership will be much harder to prove and when it gets to the courts the person with the most money to interpret the law will win.
