In my opinion this is the best way to protect them, though it is not keeping
the images save. But this is the point: Since it it not possible to protect
them physical (read the other threads and responses) the best thing you can
do is letting the viewer know that this is your work. On the one side the
viewer is not annoyed by stupid scripts or plugins and on the other side you
are giving them some kind of responsibility, they know that they are acting
wrong if they steal your images. Since you didn't actually protect them it's
no fun stealing them and most people will accept that they are copyrighted.

For me, I have that special "gotcha" feeling when I get an image which is
"protected". A simple copyright line makes me skip over and look for other
images I could use.

I also suggest putting this line under the image, and in the image your sign
or name.

I find it interesting that I was able to easily save images from their
site.

So much for that product.

Not available for my system. Great way to get customers that: force them to
install an obscure[1] plugin that only works on Windows.

If I could be bothered to boot up my Windows box and install it I expect I
could have the image copied in no time at all. However, I can't be
bothered, not to install it, and not to spend the time imaging the system
so I could be sure I've removed it again afterwards.

Oh god, not another site offering this pointless HTML "encryption".
Anyone with half a brain and a bit of programming experience can get the
HTML out in about a minute.

Not to mention that your site becomes completely reliant on Javascript,
and some ****ing pointless plug-in. Great way to attract customers.

And your connection to htmlblock.co.uk is? Do htmlblock.co.uk know that
you're spamming their products? And why are you responding to a two
year old thread?

No, it's a great way to stop people seeing your images at all. I'm not
going to install some plugin I've never heard of to view images on site
X, I'm going to go to site Y instead.
