a service? or a plug-in? No (right click on page)

[nEighter]

Looking for a plug-in or other that I could add to my site to not allow my pictures from being taken, or site content from being used elsewhere. I know of sites I have gone to where it will not let you right click so you cannot copy to quote, or to (right click > save as). I have so many pictures online.. I cringe to think I need to get to watermarking them all.. this would at least help my site out a bit, I can watermark all the others.

Anybody?

Note that neither of these will actually prevent anyone from ripping your content.

Your browser must recieve the html, text and image file locations in order for the page to load, so all that information is there for the taking no matter what you do.

These types of workarounds just make it a bit harder and take a bit more effort to rip it.

It is impossible to do what you ask. If you disable right mouse click then you can just use print screen. The only way to slow them down is to watermark your images. Nothing you can do about text. If they want it, they will get it.

It may keep them from getting the full-size image.

I upload many full-size images to my web sites, yet reduce the sizes to fit them on a monitor better. Disabling right-click/Save As.... may garner the thief a 600x450 pixel screen shot, they don't get the 3000x2250 original.

Why do you upload the full size image? Do you display it at any point? If you do then it is liable to theft.

Disable java in the browser and that method fails.

Like Leo said, there is no simple way to protect your content.

Copyscape (http://www.copyscape.com/) for content.
You could put your images in Flash, but then they are not friendly for search.

For the most part people don't mean to 'steal' your content. They usually don't fully understand copyright law, and don't think they will be caught. As a user I HATE watermarks in the middle of images, puts a bad tone in my head about your business. But I do think a text watermark in the corners is fine and will prevent most from copying it, when there are easier 'non-copyrighted' targets.

I know you use Flickr also, make sure you have your images copyright settings set correctly on there as well.

[Leo G]

As he explains copyright law using a stolen picture :laugh3:

Nate if you can't borrow a picture does that mean the pin-ups you post will disappear?

Dang ethics.

So I can size it on-screen to fit the page. Otherwise, I'm resizing it, uploading it, checking it for fit, resizing it again, uploading it again, rechecking it again, ad nauseam.

there is a photo gallery plug-in or service that locks your pics down. I thought of Chris Wright when I saw them. I was originally wanting to put a different photobook together, and went to some of the program's examples and figured out their content was protected. I want my content protected. So if they want to copy, they will have to be on my page, and physically writing it down for their site. And having to go a long way around to get one of my pictures.

This is what I mean:

http://www.muhs.de/ 100% locked down.

Took five seconds, literally.

Either just drag your mouse over and ctrl+c and paste where you want or turn off java.

Almost forgot about this site. Seems there index has grown since the last time I visited.

Best attempt I have seen yet to achieve image copy protection, like copyscape for images.
