Richard Hardly a justification for not doing anything to protect someone's property. If someone wants to learn HTML, they can buy some books, visit sites that teach or enrol in a college, etc. Browsers steal! They take images off your server and download it to someone else's disk! After creating a page, if I could choose Do not display code, Do not allow screenshots, Do not cache, then I can either select the options or ignore them. As things stand, you have no choice in who downloads your images (some steal by downloading while other by linking) or steals your code. Personally, I would allow all three as my code is not original but my pages do have links, as do most people's, that I would like to protect by simply ticking a box that disables the View Source command. What can be simpler? Furthermore, as software progresses and makes it easier to upsize your 350 px image to 1350 px, retain quality and then to print it, well, most people would agree a safeguard is needed. The PDF format has some safeguards but you can still do a screenshot. It's not beyond Apple and Microsoft to produce browsers that are security conscious. I'm sure if they worked hand in hand with the bodies governing HTML and the likes of Adobe and Macromedia, a more secure surfing environment could be created in which to not only shop but to also display your images.
