no offense but i think this is silly. if someone is making money off of stealing my images, then rest assured that they posess the skill to take them even with the rightclick/image toolbar disabled. there are many EASY workarounds that no code will ever be able to stop. hell, even disabling javascript works. even people that go to elaborate lengths and use the most efficient method - dividing their images into little cubes - are thwarted by the almighty 'print screen' key. i really dont mind if someone uses my images from either this gallery or my Blackhearted one. if someone likes my art, why shouldnt they be able to save it to a folder on their harddrive? hell, i do it all the time. if i really like something in the gallery i will save it to a rosity gallery folder i store all the truly excellent images that i see here in. all (or most) of my images carry a copyright notice. again, if someone really wants to they can remove it in photoshop. other solutions? digimarc -- the 'professional' watermarking solution that costs a fortune? its useless. they neglect to tell you that the lowest level of noise applied to an image (0.01%) will permanently wipe their watermark off with no noticeable quality degredation in the image. so much for their expensive tracking system and protection measures. and no, i didnt read this somewhere - it took me an entire 2 minutes to figure it out when i was contemplating buying a digimarc key and testing it. so where am i going with this? theres nothing you can do to stop image theft, because the thieves are always one step ahead and there are ways to circumvent every protection measure. these new measures will not discourage thieves, theyll hardly slow them down a few seconds. but as a side effect it will be a huge nuisance and possible deterrant to honest folk that just like to browse the galleries and save images they like from time to time. theyre not going to post them on their websites, try to sell them or make money off them - they just want to store them for later viewing or use as a wallpaper. im actually flattered when people comment and say theyve saved the image/photo. but, on the other hand, i applaud renderosity for trying to take measures to protect the artists... its definitely the right attitude, yet this particular implementation i feel will be counterproductive. cheers, -gabriel (Blackhearted)
