** Contact
me PRIVATELY if you're interested in the following. I'll try
to reply when I have more time tomorrow.
** For
about a year, I've been using a _javascript_ code -- PLUS -- if I'm really
cranky, a special "garbling tool" to discourage image
theft. Usually just the code is fine for me.
** They don't
involve overlaying your name or anything which obscures or distracts any
portion of your images. (Which, BTW, is still the best way to
protect image theft.)
**
Savvy users will still find an EZ workaround. I'm just trying to
make it NOT AS EASY for people to steal, especially people who ONLY know the
"right click" method of storing images, OR those who just roll their mouse
over an image to have the Windows image tool bar pop up, enabling them to
click the "save" icon.
** Anyone who wants
to steal a STILL image (vs. streaming video) can still do
it. Even sellers using Shockwave flash media aren't immune to
theft.
** One obvious tip -- never use eBay's picture
services. After a sale, those images are up for 90 days or more for
people to steal. The JAVA code I use CANNOT be imbedded in eBay's
picture services. Hence always use an image hosting service which you
can better control.
** As I said, if you want the code, contact me privately and
I'll try to get back to everyone after I find it. If I get more than 30
replies (I doubt it), I'll find a way to post it to the entire
group). I don't know, some of this code can wreak havoc
on some list servers.
