Re: Image Stealing

* turn off your javascript, or just use View->Source to get the URL to the
image.

if you see it in your browser, it's on your hard drive...:).  There's lots
in the archives about this...it doesn't work, but it does present an
inconvenience because the user loses all the functionality associated with
that popup menu.

Hi All:

I already sent this on via direct e-mail to the originator of this query,
but since this seems such an effective way of preventing image theft, I
thought I'd see if any of you folks in list-land know how it is done and if
it is as effective as it seems.

The technique is a pop-up alert when the viewer attempts to right-click an
image.  The alert also prevents the "view source" function from operating.
Together it seems that this effectively stops at least the casual thief.

Anyone know the trick the artist used?

Regards,

Kass
