protect images with a Copyright message in explorer on right click

Small bit of java code to stop users right clicking on images within vbulletin pages and saving them to disk.

Add this to your header template

<!-- copyright -->
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function click() {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert('Images Are Copyright!.');
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
// -->
</script>

This is so stupid, anyone can still get your images even if the right click is disabled.

Yea, View -> Source and just find the image url or on XP or Mac just drag the images to your desktop.

ya but not everyone is smart enough to do that!

well run it in frames then they see the frame source. on viewing the source.

its far from bullet proof obviously, but luckily not everyone has your amazing I,T skills do they!

you could even add this!

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

turns off the image tool bar in explorer

just one step to go! stopping the drag and drop
... Help mr I.T Guru Please!

Flame Away!

there are java scripts out there that disable right click all together so they can't right click to view source. it disables right click anywhere on the site.

... with internet explorer you can click on View on the top bar and hit as source to view as source.

Don't tell everyone LOL

you can also just click file & save as and get everything!

Or a simple print screen and paste if a person REALLY wants something. There is no way to stop it.

along with the fact that disabling right click is just annoying, because most people (or perhaps its just me?) like to randomly hit mouse buttons and select text when they are reading it. Perhaps I am just overly anxious
