Hi all
I am making a website related to uploading art pieces. My requirement
is to protect art pieces from being saved by any means.
I dont want my images to be save in temporary internet files,not in
cookies.
Also the page should not be saved as in any browser. and Right click
on image should be disables . Also no one can take the printout using
print screen.
Please help me as it is urgently required.
There is no technological way to do that. Even if you were to go as
far as to implement your own data transfer protocol that would only
allow authorised clients to connect, developed your own browser with
authentication keys that tied every copy of the software to one of
your subscribers and designed the browser software to disallow
anything except the viewing of images, even assuming you could do that
in a way that could not be circumvented (and better folks than you
have tried and failed), what's to stop somebody from hitting the print
screen button, copying the display to the clipboard, pasting it into
an image editor and saving it off anyway? The absolute best you could
do is make your site so obnoxious to use that nobody will use it.
(Technically that would mean nobody was stealing your images, but only
because nobody was even bothering to look at them). Watermarking
might be a better choice but if the watermark you apply is obnoxious
enough then it will have the same effect of simply driving your users
away.
Your only option would be legal, by requiring people to become members
of the site to view anything, and requiring them to agree to some kind
of EULA to sign up. Then you could in theory litigate against anybody
using images on the site contrary to how you want them used. But that
approach is expensive, lawyers don't work for free. And if your site
has any kind of success at all the instant you try to sue one of your
users for saving a copy of an image on your site the online press will
completely vilify you.
Realistically, you can either accept some image theft will occur and
live with it, or you can not publish your images on the internet.
Those are your only choices.
