copy protect images?

[qotyebw]

How to disable "save image as.." to protect image file copy from HTML? An artist wants to provide some basic level of control over "copyright" issues.

Also, I was wondering, how can we avoid world destruction?

Getting images is still easy. What I would recommend is a watermark on his images.

By virtue of what the web is, it is impossible to prevent a user from pillfering your images. Al Mithrilhall suggests, the only way to even come close it to add a watermark to the image, but they can still steal it.

If you turn off the "save image as..", they can view the source. Turn that off, all they have to do is hit their "Print Scrn" button, a viola, a copy of your artwork. Mainly the best solution is not to publish and sensitive material on the web.

If you can't see it, you can't steal it!

Hi qotyebw

My advice is to use it anyway, and make it a part of the sites usage policy.

First it stops Joe Average from taking images that are not their property.

Still I would recomment using a watermark on the image, if for nothing else, protection of your copyright.

You have to provie that in a court of law to maintain your right to the exclusive use. If you do your best and they get it out in the open then they are in breach of the Boerne [sorry for any mispelling] convention, which most countries adhere to in their own copyright laws.

My tuppence worth...

CR,

Take a look here. It's one solution you might implement, but more importantly, this page discusses in good detail about the ins and outs of what you're trying to accomplish.

if you do watermark, make sure you put it somewhere on the pic where if it was cutout, it would ruin the pic -Greg :-Q
