Is it egotistical to try to prevent someone stealing images that a photographer has spent time and money creating? For photographers making a living solely from photography stealing images can be and is a problem.
I've only just implemented the disabling of the right click. It's been interesting to know what people think, some of the reactions surprised me. Watermarking in my opinion is a better way of deterring stealing of images. However that detracts from the images displayed. I haven't seen many photography sites use it.

I know. I don't disable anything. Furthermore, it seems a bit egotistical to me when photographers go to extreme lengths (downloadable ActiveX controls and plug-ins, etc.) to prevent people from stealing their work. Has it occurred to them that their might not be worth stealing in the first place? There are plenty of cats, dogs, sunsets, breaking waves, distant mountains, nudes, and touristy photos in the world; most are not worth protecting, since they are a dime a dozen anyway. > So, what's your point? That it's not something to worry about. Don't put anything on your site that you absolutely do not want stolen under any circumstances, and accept that there will always be someone stealing the images that you do put on the site. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
