Interesting, I've not seen this behavior before. Could you point me
to one? I'd like to see the technique, if nothing else.
I met a nice exemple. Goto:

When I got to a still pic (we were talking "still pics"), I had no
trouble drag/dropping and opening in Preview. I tried a pic called
Img.db.jpeg.
There are a few tricks that websites can do to make it harder to get
their pics (this does not seem to be one on my test?). But they
usually can be defeated quickly by experienced users. And then there
is Screen Capture, the blunderbus that defeats most, if not all,
fancy attempts at stopping folks getting pics that actually appear on
web pages. The only thing that could limit the captured quality is a
not big enough screen. And still, it is then still easy enough. You
scroll and snap and simply joint the pics into one. But all this is
very theoretical because if it did not fit on your screen it would be
good for printing. If it was big enough for a quality print, a web
designer jealous of his pic would hardly make it available by
specifying a smaller pixel size for it to appear. But if he did, and
he was able to defeat drag/drop, it would not be that hard to dive
into the code and change the pixel size and some base url for the
page and run it on a browser...
I am not saying there could not be very sophisticated things that
would stop folks, but they would likely have to address the platform
system or something?
