What does this help? - It only fool`s the site owner with a security feeling
that
does not exist. And the visitors are restriced in their ability/comfort
of using the web.
There are still lot ot people not using MS-IE. And there are lot of
possiblities left to get your picture in a file.
I think everyone who put`s pictures into the web should know what he
is doing with his pictures.
In my opinion the best protection for your images is the resolution.
When you scale the picture`s for web usage (download!, screen size),
then the quality is too limited for other usage. And a copyright notice
sould be enough.
