Yeah, almost all the protection methods (except watermarking) are webpage-based... I tried to look for an alternative image-based method. But all the readings say that none of the methods is totally safe... I was just thinking that the people who rip images, do this because they can't make these images themselves... so maybe they don't have the knowledge or the tools to work around these methods either... small consolation (who am I kidding) ;o))
