Preventing Uploaded Photos from being Copied

LFC5Times

If i upload a few photos to Photobucket and give a link of a few of the photos to a couple of the people,is there anything i can do to stop them from right clicking the photo and saving the image ?

rymus

don't know for sure with photobucket, but right click protection as a whole is pretty pointless. There are numerous ways around it, all of which are quicker and easier to do than to add right click protection in the first place.

Aye, you can just take a screenshot and you have the pic
Dont put them up on photobucket if you dont want them copied.

Or, (on firefox) go into tools/page info, click on the media tab and select the particular image given the handy preview, and hit 'save as' :-) Yeah, right click prevention is useless at best and incredibly annoying at worst. I've been to sites where they've implemented it in such a way as to prevent you from right clicking and selecting text on the page as well, or middle clicking to open a link in a new tab. pain in the ass.

Watermark them at least make them earn the pic if they remove it.

... Which is all well and good until, like was pointed out, someone a) takes and crops a screenshot, b) someone opens the source code, copies the picture url and pastes it into the address bar or some HTTPRetrieve-alike program, or c) disables JavaScript. In order of simplicity/likelyhood.
