Unfortunately there is no sure fire way to stop folks from lifting images. But there are preventative measures that help a little. Check out this thread on Creators for the conversation about this issue:

Here's the right-click I tweaked, but never used on one of my sites. Let me know if it works okay - - been a long time since I installed this on a site. But again, no real way to stop lifting of images. There are always ways around it:

Add code to bottom of your Custom Code Box via: My Network/Tools/Custom Code.

 

<!-- Prevent Right-Click -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("#xg").attr({_maxembedwidth: "741"});
}
 var isNS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape") ? 1 : 0;
  if(navigator.appName == "Netscape") document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN||Event.MOUSEUP);
  function mischandler(){
   return false;
 }
  function mousehandler(e){
     var myevent = (isNS) ? e : event;
     var eventbutton = (isNS) ? myevent.which : myevent.button;
    if((eventbutton==2)||(eventbutton==3)) return false;
 }
 document.oncontextmenu = mischandler;
 document.onmousedown = mousehandler;
 document.onmouseup = mousehandler;
</script>
<!-- END Prevent Right-Click -->

 

Best,

Jen

Hi Jen,

I just wanted to let you know that I popped your code on to my own network and it works LIKE A CHARM!!!!  I realize that it's not a fix-all, but it sure is a nice deterrent!  Thank you again!!
