Is it posible to load an image without requiring it to be downloaded?

You may want to think about what you're asking :)

Any content that is viewed by the user is downloaded onto their machine.

If you have a very powerful lamp you may be able to broadcast it onto the clouds like they do for Batman.

There's a few ways. The common one is to wrap it in a Flash loader and stream it to the browser. That way it won't show up in the cache. Another way is to base64 encode it, embed it into a JS variable, and load it into a canvas using DHTML ... very nifty. Neither method will stop people screengrabbing it though so it's a bit pointless if you're trying to protect it.
