You can't.

Publishing to the Web means you put your pictures and text
up there for others to download. If they can't download
it, how can they read your words or see your pictues?

What you might do, if you wanna go through the trouble, is
disable the right click open to save picture, and instead
display a rude little remark like "Copyright material,
downloading is immoral and unethical instead of showing
the default right click options. There are many Java
examples all over the net on how to do this funtion.

This doesn't stop someone that has just a small idea of
what they are doing if they want your picture, but it does
stop some less experienced users.

Even if you did this, all anyone has to do is hit "Print
Scrn" on their keyboard and copy the screen image to the
cliboard, paste into any graphic program and crop it.
Alsom, scan of the temporary files folder will show the
picture sitting there ripe for taking.

You can't have people view your content without
downloading to their computer, end of story.

You could publish in a format like PDF, that makes it
harder to get to the images and text, but this defeats the
purpose of using a web site, which is to make your content
publicaly available, easily.

Even if you could make it harder to copy and paste text,
its not hard just to re-type something.

Good luck.
