[Web4lib] Image protection

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings,

Other than the perceived notion that images are protected
by copyright and therefore off limits - are there any technological
methods or procedures to inhibit reproduction of original jpeg
or gif images on the web? Can anyone recommend a solution? 

It is fairly easy to set up a no right click java script command
and I have thought about watermarks a bit. But watermarks can
detract for the overall imagery and the script only slows people
down a bit.

Thanks for any recommendations!
