I agree with all sides. It's good to know, it would be better if it were a free choice to switch it on and indeed images can be found all over the net and no one cares.

Every image can be downloaded. Every flash file can be downloaded. No javascript, no whatever can fully protect. Certainly not that silly rightclicking "protected" scriptie.

You can protect against direct linking, but even that is limited.

You can protect against your site opening as a subsite of someone else's.

And most of all: you can get so paranoid that you grow a miser's mentality, feel bitter because they steal your work and forget to have fun.

You know the master of all thieves, the most ruthless criminal of them all? Publicity. Because publicity steals your heart.

Blackhearted: I love that saying "I just choose my own battles."
