| 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/1161/Events/1161/mcgowan_rose10?path=pgallery&path_key=McGowan,%20Rose
|
| 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?).
