If you use it as an avatar, the image that gets copied after "Save Image As" is a smaller one, not the original picture. And I'm pretty sure no serious member on this forum would "steal" another person's avatar!

Says you!  I can't wait to steal this guys picture of him and his girlfriend so I can go other forums and ruin the prefectly good name of jjjackpot.


I love you sometimes twesterm.

Have you no sense of honor whatsoever? Or humor ?


 Humor?  I was voted the funniest person on the site until PDF and Rol robbed me...

No that was twestern ...



Actually there is a way to prevent people from stealing your pictures. You need to purchase some software though, and it's expensive...plus it costs 10 cents per image blocked. I choose not to block my avatar here because it'd get too expensive...but it's totally possible. It not only takes off the option to save image, it also prevents people from "printscreen-ing" and copying your image in any way!

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

it should be a thumbnail version, and people normally don't give 2 craps about it, unless it's nude.

add a watermark if you're that afraid...



But even then, someone could just take a picture of the screen with a camera.

The internet is public domain. If you want to keep something private than you don't want to put it on the internet.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

No, there's always a way BenKenobi88.

I could just get a very good digital camera and take a photo of my computer screen... I mean that's how badly I want jjjackpot's picture.

You can deter Joe Average, but that's about it.  All I need is a utility to take a "snapshot" of the current screen frame being rendered by the graphics library.  There isn't any way to completely control what is done with an object--including an image--from the server side... you would have to gain control of the client side software, and I don't suggest people start trying to upload javascript, etc. code to end users that's crafted to take control of part of their browser/OS functionality.   That would be a nasty thing to do, but even that couldn't stop those of us who can write software to download and manipulate web objects without using a browser.  Heck, I can just use a Firefox proxy plug-in to exercise strict control of the scripts I allow to be downloaded and executed.

 

I like the advice of most of the posters here... if you don't want it used by others in ways you can't control, don't put it on the Internet. 



I thought I was being sarcastic...

Such a program does exist? I bet the people that made it went broke...
