Copy Right Protection

I just visited a website, that when you right click a
photograph, the options window does not open. In other
words, you cannot download the image, background, email,
etc, or copy it in any way. Instead you get a window that
says; Sorry, that function is disabled. Contents and
graphics copy righted...Our work is not public domain and
should not be taken from this site.

I would love to do this to the images on my website.
Question is, how?

Thanks!
 
Go back to the site in IE, then View Menu | Source or File Menu | Save As | Complete HTML or go an
looking in your Temp Internet folder for the images.

Look at many previous posts about this ... you simply cannot sucessfully
protect your images because when they can be seen they are already in the
viewer's cache.
I'd be curious to see the site you mention, please.

How do I stop people from downloading my graphics or code?

Nice pix!
I have copies of all if them if you want...:-)

Seriously, I understand your concern, but Right Click restrict if futile.

Just one of many ways -
Left Click and drag the image into the taskbar in IE. Right-click away.

The directory browsing is enabled on the images folder. I saw them, also.

They mean the images directory for the site you provided the link too.

Whenever I get really bored I browse my temp folder for any fun graphics to play with...it's unreal all the stuff that accumulates in there :-)

There are various levels of answers to this question. When I say levels, I
mean levels of technical sophistication of the person developing the site
and the person trying to copy the images.

Disabling "right click" is easy and will be enough to disable people that
know very little or nothing about HTML.

Another technique is to make the image the background and put another image
on top of it (or something such as that). Look at:

http://us.imdb.com

Find an actor or actress with photos. Try to copy the photo; you won't get
it. For example, look at:

http://us.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/...n_rose10?path=pgallery&path_key=McGowan, Rose

There are probably plenty of guys that want to copy it. (I think there was a
more revealing image of her in IMDB.com but I don't see it now.) It can be
copied by looking at the HTML source and finding the address of the image.
So that technique provides some protection but not total.

The most sophisticated solution requires a lot of highly technical
programming but would require nearly as much technical programming to get
around. I don't know if there is an equivalent solution for Unix/Linux
however; the Windows solution only works for Windows. It involves use of an
ActiveX control to show the image. The ActiveX control would intercept
Windows GDI functions, and would have to be sophisticated enough to know
what images to protect and which images not to protect. Also the solutions
depend on the version of Windows.

I have seen a couple of discussions of doing such a thing. There are a
couple of versions around somewhere available for purchase. One place where
the solution was discussed is in codeguru.com and the other is
Experts-Exchange.com. The programmers asking about how to do it was going to
make it available for free, but the programmer using codeguru.com was told
by his employer that he could not. I can probably get in touch with that
programmer if anyone is interested in asking if the software is available
for purchase. As far as I know, the programmer using Experts-Exchange.com
never did make the software available (for free?).
 
Ah, Rose is a background image in a table ;-)

Technically "sophisticated" developers don't waste their time on these
types things - on any level.

know very little or nothing about HTML.

Apparently, you are not one of thise "sophisticated" people. JavaScript
is used - pointlessly -
to inhibit the mouse function; Not HTML. I guess you know little nothing
about HTML.

I had no trouble getting all their images.

I had no problem with McGowan,%20Rose.

What's your point?

Yeah, right.

You like to say "sophisticated", don't you. I must say, it's pretty
"sophisticated" of you
to recognize that a "Windows solution" will only work on Windows. Will a
*nix solution
only work on *nix?
 
yah, but she (mcgowan) still shows up in temp folder...no clicking required - the overlying gif is unimportant.

The notice also acknowledges that the right-click script isn't full
proof......and, yes, images can still be copied.
 
doesn't stop you right-click and save-as though! You can still "save background
as...".
