There are many ways to discourage people from taking your images, but they only work with people who aren't very technically savvy. Anyone who has a moderate to advanced level of technical understanding of how a web browser works can very easily get around all types of "protection" in a number of ways. Basically, all you can do is make it clear to them that you don't want them taking the images from your site and that's about it. If they're mostly clueless (and I think a lot of image thieves are, actually), they'll get the hint. If they're really determined, they'll find a way to get your image, period. I've never yet found any protection scheme that would work entirely. Discourage, sure, frustrate and annoy, definitely, but that's about it. Those who are desperate to get your stuff WILL get it, like it or not. bonni
