Shock Horror - the Internet exists - and it is evil!!!! :-))
Browsers steal! They take images off your server and download it to someone
else's disk!
Sorry, however much this is an important issue; you are blaming browsers rather than users.
Users steal, browsers are neutral.
Watermark images. Use methods to make it awkward to grab them - such as CSS.
Modify Apache to stop other sites linking to your images (yes this is possible) but I doubt you will get the Browser makers to all agree, after all they are not just MS and Apple and MS aren't doing proper browser updates anymore.
The trouble is there are people who will steal images one way or another - make it hard for them is the answer - but if you put all these controls in place it will a) stop legitimate use, b) be circumvented by smart users and c) screenshots will still be possible
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.
Most people learn html via the Internet - it is the best tool that is available.
Personally, I would allow all three as my code is not original
Does that mean you stole the code? ;-) <G>
