Protect graphics

[Per]

Hi

I want to protect my graphcis from download how can I disable the
right-click on my pages, in general or spceficially on the graphcis? I CSS
the way to go?

regards Per

[Mike C]

Previuos entries in the forum, have covered this item, it appears that you
cannot protect images ect, very easily, as the viewer veiws the images on
their machines, NOF has a protect image text function, so when you right
click the image in design view, you can select the protect function, not
sure what this does exactly but it might be worth looking into.

Hi Per,

This question comes up again and again. Why do you care if people download
your graphics? You're publishing them on the web which means your images
automatically download into the user's cache for viewing. So even if you
use a JavaScript to disable right clicking, you aren't protecting your
images because anyone can lift images in a variety of ways:

1. simple screen grabbing program
2. hitting the print scrn button on their keyboard
3. viewing your source code to find the exact location of your image files
4. viewing the browser cache files.

If you have intellectual property to protect, use low res thumbnail images
and watermark your high res images with a photo editor. Also register your
intellectual property with a service like http://www.protectrite.com/ and
place a copyright notice on your pages. That's the best you can do.

Hi Nancy

Its a long story (as you may know) but the case is that I represent a brand
owner. I thus need a simple way of making it clear to people up front that
if the want to make a copy of these pictures they are probably not aware of
the rules regarding these matters.

In general I am all for "public domain" and "open source", but people pay me
huge sums (or at least a decent fee) to develop software and ideas for
them - and such transactions are devaluated if anyone can have a free copy
of the work I have made. Say the graphics I talk about was made by an
artist, to illustrate some training materials, and if anyone can simply copy
that it does not make much sense to pay the artist to do something unique
(if your really *want* people to copy your work, it may be a good idea to
protect it even more?)

:-) So with that in mind I share these immortal words:

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world
remains and is immortal..
- Albert Pine

I think Nancy's point is not whether there is a good reason to try to
protect the images from being copied (there are many valid reasons), but
rather that it simply can't be done. For all the reasons she mentioned, if
someone wants the images...they will get them. Only the most novice user
will be stopped by a java script pop-up message. Once you post the image on
the Internet...it can be copied. The only way to make the image less
desirable to the "thieves" is to watermark it with a subtle copyright
notice. I deal with this issue for many of my clients...it's just a reality
they have to live with.

Hey Dave,

Does putting your photos in a flash gallery help protect them or are they
still easy to gain a copy of? I guess I don't know enough about stealing!

Thanks,

Shawn

If you have a flash decompiler it's very easy to extract images, etc. Look
here: http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/
Short of a watermark or killing the resolution to make them
unusable/undesirable, anyone can find a way to get your images if you decide
you want to publish them on the web..... just the way it is.

Hi

I want to protect my graphics from download OGWhatsApp how can I disable the
right-click on my pages, in general or specifically on the graphic's? I CSS
the way to go?

regards Per

I'm pretty sure there must be a plugin available to do that, but if you now CSS then I think you have to use that instead of using Plugin.
