Advising people to do something that is not secure is irresponsible. Half of
the messages posted here regarding this topic are corrections of
well-meaning people like yourself that confuse people by speaking without
knowledge, telling them that the impossible is possible. Because you are
inexperienced, you don't understand security on the Internet. For example,
why would someone want to prevent people from copying their images? They
don't want them spread around. Well, all it takes is one person to copy an
image, and then send a copy to 2 of their friends, who send a copy to 2 of
their friends... Note that the image is now being reproduced without any web
site or web page present. But it might appear all over the world. Computers
are excellent at copying files. How do you think all those viruses and
trojan horses get around?
Security is a serious business, and just because you don't see something
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You don't see the need for "real" security.
I've been programming on the Internet for almost 10 years now. I certainly
DO see it. the other MVPs here DO see it. Microsoft sees it. And I for one
am sick of cleaning up behind people who give bad advice because they DON'T
see it.
In conclusion, I may be blunt, but I don't lead people astray. So, perhaps,
before you go pointing at the mote in my eye you should pull the plank from
your own.
