Don't upload them to the web. Really there is no way to protect any web
content.

I don't know to do it but there is a way to disable the right mouse button
or at least pop up a "no copy" message when someone tries to do it. I know
because I have had my hand slapped like that.
 
And it still will not protect your content, so it is really a waste of
effort to implement the JavaScript coding to do this.

How do you do this on FP 2000?

THANKS !!!!!!

You just right-click the image and save as.....besides, the whole site is
downloaded to the users web cache, including the images, so they end up on the
hard disk anyway.

This is a change from "How do I prevent people Using my Pics/copying my code" ?
F.A.Q!

You want people to save them??

ooops! I misread your subject line 'cant' as 'can'.....apologies....but my
answer is as has already been posted....you can't prevent people saving your
pictures.
 
This script is *NOT* fool-proof. People can disable JavaScript support in
their browser, use a browser which doesn't support JavaScript, or use a
browser to link directly to the image that you want to protect. Also the
pages and images are normally stored in the user's browser cache (for
viewing later whilst offline) - with a little bit of work, the thief could
find your image in their cache. It also doesn't stop users accessing the
source of your page from the toolbar menus (View | Page Source). You could
attempt to load your page into a window without toolbars - but again this
isn't fool-proof. They can access the page directly, with toolbars, instead
of opening it without them as you intended. There is a tool for Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5 that will encrypt JScript code - but this is only
supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 - and will not allow the scripts
to run on any other browser.

Bearing this in mind, the following script should stop right clicks (and
left button held down, followed by a right click) in both Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It will not stop users who use a Mac -
where the mouse only has one button.

If this script doesn't do what you require (i.e. protect your images and or
your scripts) then don't use it and don't put your images/scripts on the
net. If your livelihood relies on people not copying your images - then add
a water mark or "sample" stamp to your images.

Next time you visit one of those sites,
Right click and hold and then press the shift key and
release the mouse. ;-)

( might be the Alt key )

Yes, and I've got a placebo that will make you THINK you're cured of
whatever ails you. I have a placebo stand at my ocean-front condo in
Arizona.

Hi Kevin,

Knowledge, good or bad, should be shared.
You and I know that the script will not stop
anyone that really wants the picture from getting
it...... I thought I made that point.
But if someone wants to use it so be it..

BTW: Great article on ASP
 
I agree, xmas. If a person asks a question, I think we should answer it,
and then give our opinions, pro or con. It's not up to us to decide whether
they are right, wrong, ignorant or indifferent. I've seen some vehement
replies to innocent questions, without even answering the question. We have
to remember that some of the posters may be newbies, or never been here
before.

The bottom line: They deserve the courtesy of an answer to the original
question. If we don't have the answer, don't post a reply just to make a
slam.

My two cents.

Tom,
Absolutely right, perfectly said.

Newsgroups have become a miserable place for people to come as beginners. They
are filled with people like SNL's "Your Company's Computer Guy" The very people
who need the help the most are so often just crapped on by SELF-proclaimed
experts. Your words are true, wise, compassionate, and I wish would become
mandatory reading and law for every newsgroup user.

Tim

Knowledge, good or bad, should be shared.

When you give someone a solution that does not work, you are doing them no
favors,and you are imparting no knowledge. By telling them that pictures
cannot be copied, and then giving them a method to prevent pictures from
being copied (that doesn't work) you are either (1) confusing them by
contradicting your assertion, or (2) misleading them altogether.

Why do I think of you every time this question comes up? :)

I'm sorry, Jack, but I'm very protective of the people who come here for
help. Many of them don't understand the Internet and how it works, or HTML
and how it works. I have a great deal of sympathy for them, and feel that we
as their helpers bear a great deal of responsibility for what we tell them.
Microsoft is in the news every other week because a new security flaw was
found in their operating system that could allow a hacker to get in, take
control of the system, and do any number of other nasty things. Now, you and
I know that only about 1 in 100,000 people has the skill/knowledge to take
advantage of these "flaws." But the world is rightly concerned about such
things, because it doesn't matter how many people can break in; the point is
that they can, and that means that the security is not tight enough. Partial
security on a network as vast as the Internet is no security at all, and
trust in partial security is foolish trust. Maybe 1 in 4 people know how to
get around the old right-click dodge. What kind of security is that? And how
can we mislead the people that trust us by giving them false information or
at the very least, a false impression? I certainly can not.

Kevin,

In my post I explained several ways that, no right click, can be defeated.
But, as locks don't stop the real thief they are a deterrent to the passer
by that might take something of value.
At the bottom I suggested "Watermarking" or imprinting "Sample" across the
photo. It still don't stop them but one makes it traceable and the other,
sample, makes it undesirable.

What I tried to do is explain the drawbacks, offer other solutions, and then
tell them where to get what they asked for.

I really didn't think it would cause this commotion.
