Hi,

I am just starting out using FP.
I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to protect
graphics from being copied from my website?

Thanks,

Monica, it is really not possible, even with the No Right Click scripts available. The images have
to download to the user machine in order for them to be viewed, so a user can always grab them from
their browser's cache folder, or they can do a Save As from the IE File Menu and save the entire
page and images or a View Source and get the direct path to the images.

There's no reliable way to keep anyone from copying your
graphics. For more info, browse:

Monica,
Unfortunately there is no way to prevent someone from
copying your images.

There are the 'no-right-click' scripts out there, but
they only prevent people from right clicking. Many people
consider these scripts to be amateur, and those scripts are
easily rendered useless.

The only real deterants available is to watermark the
image with superimposed text or digitally using services
like digimarc. The images can still be copied though.

Hi again,

Thanks everyone for clarifying the graphics copying issue!

One more ignorant question if I may; how about if I put the pages on a
CD. Does the same apply concerning the copying?

Well, there are ways to make your images unattractive to a thief, but
it will take some work, or cash, or both. Please see the following:

A blanket "No" is the wrong answer. There are things you can do to
protect your work, though nothing is totally foolproof.

Actually it is the correct answer:
Programs don't work.
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-store">
has been ignored in all IE versions after 4.0

<meta http-equiv=Pragma content=no-cache> <meta http-equiv=expires content=0>
only applies to the html document, it doesn't "expire" images

A blanket "No" is the ONLY answer. You will never become a web development
expert by reading PC Magazine, any more than you will become a great
football player by reading Sports Illustrated. I will not reiterate here all
of the reasons, but suffice it to say, if you had spent much time in this
newsgroup, you would be sick of hearing them by now too.
