I do not want people to copy or print any photos on my web

[Larry]

how do I put photos on my web site that people can not click on and copy to
print. I have a web site for a photographer and she does not want her
customers to be able to print off her pictures.

This question must be asked every day. There are some things you can
do to discourage a few people, but the bottom line is, if it can be
viewed on a computer, it can be copied by that computer. All you can
do is protect the photos by superimposing the photographers name
and/or copyright notice on each photo. Doesn't stop copying, but
makes them less useable.

You cannot prevent it. There are so many attempts, and all fail....

The only way to be sure this doesn't happen is to not put them on the web.

Please watermark your images and sleep well knowing that you have done the
best you can.

PICUTRE

However, you must realize that this is *very* easy to defeat. All you
need to do is disable JavaScript and the protection goes away. Very
easy. Also, right clicking is not the only way people can steal
pictures. They can merely type the address in the address bar and,
voila!, they have your picture.

It is impossible to keep people from taking your pictures. The best way
is to provide relatively low-res pictures that would make useless
prints or enlargements.

I'm a photographer with a photo site as well, so I know how it is to be
protective over the photographs.

You have two easy option to access any photo where a no right click script is running, in IE do File
Menu | Save As to save the page and all images, do a view source and grab the link to the image.

Incorrect. Ever read "The Emporer's New Clothes?"

If I were you, I wouldn't allow my web site to go out dressed like that...

this misleading information on a regular basis, would you?

Far from perfect. I detest websites that disable right click. Right click is
used for many things and disabling it essentially cripples parts of a
website.

To illustrate:

Q. I would like to start smoking. Where can I find some cigarettes?
A. Smoking is bad for you. But if you really want to smoke, here's a carton
to get you started.
