[thelist] Staving Off Photo Thieves

Fri Apr 27 11:00:42 CDT 2001

Quite a few suggestions have been posted involving complex scripts and
software to prevent the reader from copying images online. So far I haven't
seen one I couldn't circumvent in three easy steps:

1. Take a screenshot
2. Paste the screenshot into Photoshop
3. Crop out what I don't need

The entire process takes less than two minutes, and it seems to work on
Digimarks, too. Remember, there's no technological substitute for the old
fashioned copyright procedures.
