For the first one, it's basically the same exact mechanism as a login
database but instead of supplying two items to verify it can be re-coded to
verify one item, such as a keyword, phrase, or password. Of course, this
involves custom coding but it's not too bad. All you're doing is taking the
results of a form, checking to see if that result (password) is in the
database and if it is, you set a cookie saying they are authenticated. Every
page you want to protect will need to check for this cookie and, if it
doesn't exist, it will send them to a login page.
You can't make images non-copyable. It's just the nature of the web. The
image itself is downloaded into the web browser's temporary cache. A
creative person of course can use a utility that can just take the url of
the image and save it directly to wherever they need. You can try to disable
a user from right-clicking on your page, but the scripts aren't reliable as
they don't necessarily work in all browsers. Basically the best you can do
is place a copyright notice and hope for the best. If you're a photogrpaher
trying to protect your work or some similar profession, your best bet is to
put a watermark in the image (such as a logo that's slightly visible) that
lets people see the image, but renders it essentially useless for adapting
to their own purposes.
Hope this helps,
