In this tutorial, we'll discuss how to prevent people copying images
from your web site to your own.
I'll tell you right out from the start, that it's not possible by purely technical means to absolutely stop people copying images from your web site.

This is because you have no control over what software they might have on their computer, and once your image is in their browser on their computer, you've lost control over what they might or can do.

- You can make it
more difficult for people to help themselves to your images on your
site. While the techniques that we discuss are not absolutely
totally secure (but neither are the locks on your house - but that
doesn't mean you'll want to leave your front door open and unlocked),
they do make the "thieves'" job harder, and can be enough
to deter many casual "thieves"
- You can set your site so that if people do steal images, you'll at least have a good chance of identifying them as belong to you. more...
