when ppl like an img right, they can select it , copy it and or drag to their desktop therefore copying your imgs. now i believe that ususally most ppl put their images in an images folder specially when going static so they can even type in your url and put a / images and the whole wazoo list of your images are ganna show. now aside from putting an index in the images so that the list wont sho, is therre a way for me to protect my images in the actual pgs of the html. i think a watermark is the way to go but im not sure.
also , can u copy or somehow get the flash on ppl pages the same waay yu can get imgs???
You’ll need a protect images javascript or no right click javascript. You can find those all over the internet. Just run a google. But that’s not much use cuz people with IE 6.0 (like me) can hover over any image and then this bar appears with a save button it, that bypasses the script.

well, here’s the deal. If someone wants your image, they are going to get it. One way or the other. There are so many ways around everything you can do to protect yourself that its not even worth protecting yourself. The best thing you can do is keep the source files. If you have the .PSD, then you can (sort of) prove ownership of the images.
Its not worth the hassle and extra code to just have your stuff taken anyway.

**what i meant was that, can u copy or rip the swf flash files from other peoples websites in the same manner that u can with images? **
I guess you’ll have to go looking in your browser cache for that.
the SWF files can end up in your cache, and even if you disable right click people can still view the source and download your SWF and then use a SWF decompiler to get your files out of that. There is no way to 100% protect your stuff except don’t put it on the web.
Rev and I have been up, down, and around all sides of this issue with a client that’s a photographer and location scout. The only effective solution is to display any images that you don’t want “ripped” small enough that they wouldn’t be useful. (whether in a plain HTML page or within a Flash movie)
What we’ve done for this particular site is require a login in order to view the full size images.
if you use all your images as background, use a no right click script and use JS for protection of their URLs… it should be possible to not let them rip them off…
As well as using a NORight Click script, there is this one javascript that scrambles your source code. That way when you view the source, it looks like a javascript with the content like: UYFCGUGE&87687687)7678689&C(YBCUIICJEJHNJ
This should be your thingking, If you don’t want people to steal anything from your site then don’t put it there. For me if someone copies my work or use my design or images for their own, I would feel proud and hapy that at least some people enjoy my work.
