Has anyone else..other than Ed, had people "steal" pictures or logos from your websites and use them as their own..other than reporting them to thier ISP what did you do?
Am trying to be nice, but man it pissed me off to find my company log, slogan and material I PAID a designer to make on someone else's site..
Never had it happen myself, but you can bet a lawyer would be in the future..that's copyright infringment clear cut...That sucks man..I'm sorry to hear that..

I don't know how or what kind of program it takes, but I know that there is a way to copyright material so that as soon as anyone right clicks to copy it, a window will pop up and tell you to frag off. It doesn't allow material to be copied from the site.
I've wanted to mail photo's of dogs to other people that I tried to pull off of a website and that is what happened. So I had to mail the link.
People shouldn't really be snagging stuff, that is pretty mean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
You do not have a copyright notice on you page, so there is nothing you can. Well technically you don't need a copyright notice anymore, but if your concered you should add it to the page.
Also, if they are stealing a slogan or a phrase you can't claim a copyright on that so they can take it.
Contact a trademark, and patent attorney. they will fill yolu in.
Javascript (created by Netscape) is one word, not to confused with Java (created by Sun Microsystems). They are NOT CGI programs, nor is there any CGI program that will stop you from snagging the pictures. They are Javascript programs that are processed by a web browser Javascript engine(Jscript according to Micro$oft).
The Javascript programs do not disable the right button, they redirect it to pop up an annoying box. The only problem is you can disable Javascript on your web browser. Sometimes depending on what browser you use the script you have may not work. Finally you can just tell the browser to snagg the whole page, or you can use a program like web weasel and grab all the pictures anyway.

There is only one thing worse than dog nerds. . .Computer Nerds! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I was going to point that out, Robert: it *is* easy to get your hands on pictures if you want to.
The best thing to do is to watermark your pictures so that after they've been taken, they can't be used by someone else. Make sure to do so in such a way that the resulting picture looks 'wrong' -- difficult I know, because you put up the pictures for people to see.At which point, picture theives will go onto someone else. Plus, if there's really a dispute (unlikely), it makes ownership easier to prove.
And if someone's stealing your stuff, ask them to take it down and don't hesitate to complain to their ISP if need be. Usually pictures get taken down pretty quickly.
I would say that Star Trek nerds have to be about the biggest dorks of all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Watermarking is a good idea, you can also put digital unseen water marks in you picutes I believe.
