Protecting Graphics and Images from being copied

R

Rich Osborne

Yes!

Save them to a floppy or cd and put them in a safe deposit box.

If you put them on a site, they are not protected.

The simple truth.

If you had looked through this newsgroup, you would see that this is an
issue brought up on a continual basis, and answered on a continual basis ;-)

How do I stop people from downloading my graphics or code?

You know Tom that first link presents a question in my mind. There is an animation that was released on the web a month or so ago. It's a funny parody of the candidates for President in the USA. The fact that we download "something" to our Temporary Internet Files and that is used to display the something seems reasonable. But this animation only downloads a location encrypted to where the animation exists. In other words going into TIF shows no indication of a media file. Real server also does this. It is how these sites which host movies on a pay as you go basis keep the movies from being reaccessed once the browser has left the site.

So I am thinking if we had a image server (I think Adobe makes one) we could just download to the TIF the location (encrypted) of the image file and that's that. Maybe images are different don't know
