I have never seen a picture protection sheme yet that worked all of the time.

I went to CP to see their protection system. I selected Games because I know how protective software makers are of their IP. I went to the linked page, zoomed the image, and could not see any CafePress watermarking on the enlarged image whatsoever. I did, however, notice that if you tried Right Clicking and saving, you were actually getting a 10x10 pixel spacer vs the entire image.

However, while inspecting my browser's cache, I found what appears to be the zoomed image, in full glory, again without watermarking. Of course, there is always the screen capture option, as well.

I would be interested in seeing an example of a "protected" image to see if I can find a way around it. Being a computer geek/security freak, investigating this stuff proves useful and, sometimes, entertaining. :0) Could you possibly post a URL to a "protected" image for me to look at and play with?
