RE: Attention Paleolife Artists [offlist]



Hi,

You will also have to prevent the use of web site copier, which is easy of
use for most people. 
You can do it by using dynamic web page generated by php (or asp, or
whatever...) to hide the url of your files. 

But it will be harder to protect your files from being stored in the
temporary files of the browser, 
and it will get really tough to protect your pictures from being copied when
displayed on screen.
Tools like paint shop pro can make a copy of your desktop or a copy of a
single window 
(for example the window of the browser displaying your picture...)

Regards
W.
