Here's something interesting along the same lines but dealing with source code:

u seem to for a faq the cache (its posible to force cache)
so u can not protect NOTHING of the net except server-side
script...well not even the server-side script ... someone knowledge ends where
someone else knowledge starts

ok my memory is starting to come back to me. has anyone ever tried terraserver.com when it first came out? as i recall, all of the satellite photos were protected so you couldn't prt-scr it, save it, etc. well, i revisited the site yesterday and guess what? the image protection scheme was no longer there. i can only speculate that it was driving traffic away from their site so they were forced to remove it.

btw, this has nothing to do with the plugin company that i mentioned earlier, but just another example of my run-ins with image protection. did it work? i didn't want the image enough to put all my time and effort into hacking the scheme they used, so YES it worked on me.

while i agree with the forum consensus that any sort of IP protection on the internet is futile -- or any digital IP for that matteer -- there are always going to be some company that finds it enticing enough to put up big money for protection schemes (e.g., online art galleries, xxx sites).
