Protecting jpgs?
The other day some jerk emailed me saying that he stole a bunch of pictures from me and was going to use them on his site. I don't know his url, and it will be really hard to prove he stole them. I'm just wondering if I can protect myself from this in the future. I was at a website a few weeks ago and I remeber that they had right click saving disabled with a java script. I would really like to know how I can do this or what some good software would be.

ISP email addr. or yahoo, hotmail etc. If ISP forward the email to his ISP and tell him so.
The following script will crash his browser if right click but only if his javascript is on. Have a page for javascript on and one for javascript off (without the images). You can find redirect scripts at most cut'n'paste sites. This is a webmasters nightmare.
<head><script language="Javascript">
function click() {
if ((event.button==2) | | (event.button==3)) {
now = new Date()
var hours = now.getHours()
var minutes = now.getMinutes()
var seconds = now.getSeconds()
var ap = "AM"
if (hours > 12)
{var ap = "PM" , hours = hours-12 ;}
if (minutes < 10)
{minutes = "0"+minutes}
if (seconds < 10)
{seconds = "0"+seconds}
window.status = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+ap
document.title = hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds+" "+ap
onload=click()
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
</script></head>

Hi,
Why don't you sign your images? (Like painters & canvas)
Put up a copyright notice.
Between the 2 you can at least threaten to sue. How do you prove they are yours? Don't you have any unfinished versions? Can he (the swiper) reproduce the image (or a facsimile)? If he could, he wouldn't need to "borrow" yours.
no right click does not stop someone from downloading your site & its images -- it only stops them from rightclicking -- and as Chris says only if they have javascript enabled.
