how to I copy protect the contents on my web site?

Question

I have a number of photos on my web site, and I do not want viewers to right click and copy them off of it.
How do I get this done?

Other sites, (such as www.cyclingnews.com) have something similar in place already.

Answer 1

Aint much you CAN do! If its on a webpage, anyone can copy it! Simple screen capture sotware can be used. About the only thing you can do to discourage it is watermark your pics.

Answer 2

Well, if you go to that website and do a right-click, you can view the actual javascript they have in place that prevents copying the photo's. Here are some others:

http://www.java-scripts.net/javascripts/No-Right-Click.phtml
http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/no-right-click.html
http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/scripts/no_right_click.html

Know that also even if you do use a script, if someone really wants a photo, they'll get it - I would suggest as someone also said, to watermark your photo's so that they'll be useless to anyone copying them.

Answer 3

There's a 'no right click' code here:http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/noright3.htm that will discourage people, but it is still possible to get the photos if someone really wanted them.

Also, there's a 'no right click' that ONLY works on photos here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/noright2.htm but you'd still have the same issues.

Answer 4

um type up in text of the pics on ur site

once you set that up, set up a lil link on that text that takes users to another page in ur site to view that pic.

use a watermarked pic.
