Hi,

My site is http://www.maritimefly
Is it possible to edit code to remove the url over the picture when in large picture mode or is  making your album private the only way to keep your pictures from being  publicly linked to?

No, as that's a feature of your browser and not of coppermine. Older versions of the mainstream browsers didn't display the address bar for pop-up windows, but recent versions do because of frequent abuse of the pop-up feature of malevolent scripts.
If you're worried about the pop-up, use a plugin that replaces the pop-up window with an linline element (a div container). As an example, review the enlargeit plugin.
However, that doesn't keep people from "knowing" the URL of an image: they can still perform a right-click, properties to see the URL of an image. There is no way to circumvent that (and don't even consider using those silly "no-right-click" scripts, as they don't work anyway). So yes: if you're concerned about others stealing your content, don't make your content available to them. You'll of course lose legitimate visitors as well. That's how the www works - there's no way for a gallery script to change this fundamental problem unless you're ready for resources-consuming on-the-fly image creation (a process that will get you kicked by your webhost in no time).
