Secrets to protect your images and graphics

[arpan911]

Stealing nice graphics and images is a widespread problem. Unscrupulous web site owners will steal your nice graphics and pretend it is theirs. If you paid for some custom graphics and then you find out that other people simply copy them for their own use, you can get frustrated!

You can protect your graphics from being stolen by inserting a javascript code in your pages containing your custom-made images.

Enough said, here's the code (place it between the HEAD tags, but you will have to copy it from the source code - and this is the weakness):



<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
var sorry="Sorry, that function is disabled."

function click(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(sorry);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(sorry);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</SCRIPT>

While I can get paranoid about people stealing my hard work, one could argue that this is a method that would destroy what the internet stands for.

It has become deprecated to open a link in target="_blank" now, because a user should be able to choose whether or not they want to open a link in a new window or not. Web standards are very quickly evolving, so I'd be dubious about using this.

i think this basically blocks the right button of the mouse on that webpage right?

Also the simpler method is watermark as an image can still be printscreen and saved anyway . Or go for copyrights , these rights provide protection to the authors of literary, dramatic, musical and other intellectual works like audio-visual performances. You can get your work registered with the U.S. Copyright Office by paying a $45 basic fee. It is essential to prominently display the copyright symbol and a statement along with your work to avoid the infringement.
