Can I protect data and pictures from being copied?

[prstin]

The pictures and text displayed on our web-site are very important to us. Is there anyway to keep others from copying them? www.prstin.com

If its on the web, its there for all.
You can watermark to make it a little more difficult with the images.

using BV FTP, if you look at the permission of a file,
by selecting and clicking right button of your mouse and
looking at properties of the file, the permission should be set
at 755 (Octal)- 111 101 101 - (binary). Play with it.

It says
Owner Group Public
111 101 101 binary

Hello,

If you right click in blue voda (to the right of your page)
Choose "Page HTML" option
Click on the tab "End of Page"

Copy and paste the following script

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var clickmessage="Right click disabled on images!"
function disableclick(e) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
if (event.srcElement.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(clickmessage);
return false;
}
}
}
else if (document.layers) {
if (e.which == 3) {
alert(clickmessage);
return false;
}
}
else if (document.getElementById){
if (e.which==3&&e.target.tagName=="IMG"){
alert(clickmessage)
return false
}
}
}
function associateimages(){
for(i=0;i<document.images.length;i++)
[I]document.images.onmousedown=disableclick;
}
if (document.all)
document.onmousedown=disableclick
else if (document.getElementById)
document.onmouseup=disableclick
else if (document.layers)
associateimages()
</script>

When published if someone right clicks they will get a message stating "right click disabled on images". There could well be ways around it, but I am no expert.

Yes there are ways around it.. just view source and you can get the path to the image.

Or in FireFox - Tools -> Page info -> Multimedia. And all images can be downloaded. Only thing what you can do, is watermark them, as Collectors-info said. There are no other ways to protect page.

Would also avoid the right click script as it stops your visitor from using other functions. (Like bookmarking you)
