How can I stop people copying my photographs from my website?

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

I am using BT's easy Site wizard (pro) for my template

no-right-click is a joke, something that was used 10+ years ago before people realised you could simply disable javascript.

 

flash galleries and remote linking redirects don't work as you can still screenshot them.

 

the internet is an open system, if you want to protect your images either copyright them or your best bet is to watermark them.

One way is to disable the "right click" though this is by in no way fool proof as a simple tools > view source will show them where it is linked from but will stop most amatures:

The best way to protect you images would be to embed them in a flash gallery.

Hi

Doesn't 'locking' the images work?
