But as already suggested, if you want to, you can get round it.

Remember locks only keep the honest out
What's dishonest about saving an image that's already in the public territory? It's kinda like saying if there's an image on a billboard in the city and you photograph it, you're commiting a crime? phffftt!

But as said, the javascript that's usually used to prevent copying of online images is easy overcome. Try using a Mozilla based browser, view it's properties, copy and paste the url into a new browser window, and presto, no restrictions.

EVERYTHING that you type, color between the lines, handwrite, record or place on any media is technically copywritten by it's very existance . This included books, videos, music, letters written to lovers, art of any sort and creative physical objects that may even be in full public display . The copywrite laws are pretty international in scope, (certain countries have a hard time understanding this ie CHINA, BULGARIA, RUSSIA, etc . . get the drift?)

So . . . . . . ultimately one could be missusing someone's copywrite protection to make duplicates of anything that has come from the hand of or is created by a person .

That's the law here in the US, and most of the free world .

There IS however the PRINTSCREEN option, which if used correctly can be edited, cropped, and re-printed as one might see fit . I am not advocating that option . . . . . as there MIGHT be laws against this in NZ to which I am not privy . :xmouth:

Actually yeah I shoulda thought of it like that. Of course that's only if it's one's own creation. Copyright laws are pretty much the same here. But they're extremely difficult to enforce unless you've got lotsa bucks.

The feature you mention is done through javascript.
You can see an example of the code here:
javascript.internet.com

As the guys and gals have mentioned though, if someone wants your images/code there are other ways around this.

I guess the only really safe way to stop users saving your images is to not publish them... or you could go to the trouble of watermarking them.
