[Javascript] Making images safe from downloading

[Filipiak, Bob (Contractor)]

There is a way to put something like a watermark on images but again with
the availability of image packages almost anyone can do a screen capture and
'touch up' the result.

You can't prevent a user from downloading your images with ordinary HTML
'cause when he sees the image on his screen it's already downloaded.
He just has to peek into the temporary internet files directory and copy
the files (for MS IE).
We use webalbum (http://goopers.com/programs/webAlbum) to prevent
people from downloading images.
But nothing will prevent screen capture.

Hope this helps
