Even the above wouldn't stop firebird, you simply hit Ctrl-I (page info) go to the media tab, selct the image from the list and click the "Save as" button, works for embeded movies, flash files, etc. If you can see it, you can save it. But given that some 80% or more of the population uses IE, I guess it'll stop enough people from doing it. It won't stop the people who have programs like thumbs plus who can then index thier caches after they've been surfing but it will deter casual copiers I guess. Just a bit annoying to find this out the hard way. later jb
