A lot of people want to protect their images(of their artwork,photography and etc)from evil right-clickers. So there’s the silly no-right-click script in javascript on the spot to allay their fears.
The problem with this no-right-click doohickey is that it will only protect your images from people who don’t really want them,anyway.Because people who do can extend their browsers to have multi-faceted toolbar functions.And some of these functions are “view frame source” or “view source” or “view generated source”….So yes,while right clicking on the image itself won’t do much besides make a clever alert box appear, clicking view source will show the image in question’s url.Copy and paste that into the address bar and there it is: unprotected and downloadable.
The only way to really protect your stuff is to keep it in a box under yer bed.
Don’t put it on the internet if you don’t want folks to have it.This goes for everything,not just photos.
If you have created something you have the absolute right to protect it…especially if your intent is to sell it and I’m not condoning theft of any kind. I’m simply stating the fact that people who want to take a photo from a place as easy to get to like from your web site,will.
On my website I have put up all my pictures of artwork I drew or painted myself. I did so never once fearing someone might download one. I knew if they did I should feel complimented. Anyone is welcome to save a picture of mine to their harddrive. I am relaxed and happy with the real thing on my walls!
