Hi,
This is probably the wrong forum for this, but I'm wondering if anybody knows if there is a way to protect website images from being copied, printed out, etc?
Thanks,
Kundrol
It is the wrong forum.
No, you can't protect them.
If they can see it on their screen, a copy of the picture is in their computer's memory and/or in the cache. You may be able to stop people from right clicking in some browser using JS (which can be turned off in most (all?) browsers).
Even if, by some voodoo that obviously can't exsist, stoped them from dowloading an image -- but still gave them the ability to see it on the page, they could always take a screen shot, and crop out the image.
I haven't used it but sites that use "java applets" to display images with the ripple effect may reduce ppl taking your images, not sure about printing though. But the increased load time would be rediculous if you have more than a few images.
