well, since everyones "solutions always get shot down by all the web 'pros' out there"
then there shouldnt be any complaining about it, if your image got stolen then thats your fault, you should have prevented it by either not even putting it on the web or you should have promedently watermarked the imag so that no one can clone it out,

If it was a solution, it probably wouldn't get shot down by so many people. But your second paragraph is absolutely correct. The only way to ensure that no one ever takes your photographs is to not put them online.

That's like blaming car theft on the owner because they parked out on the street.
Yes, if you post to the web your shots *can* be stolen, but does that really shift the burden of blame from the "thief" to the owner? Honestly?
It is possible to run a script to keep emptying the clipboard, which disables Print Screen. This script with a Flash site is pretty hard to steal images from. However, there's no way I would set my site to do that as it's intrusive to the person browsing my site... there might be something important in their clipboard.
I liked the analogy about parking in the street, if someone wants to steal my car badly enough, there's nothing I can do about it.

lol...good to see you're pon the photographers' sides on this one. So it'd be my fault if someone broke the law and stole a picture of mine to use illegally for their own purposes? What about if someone steals my truck because I left the door unlocked? How about if someone kidnaps your son or daughter because you let them walk to the bus stop by themselves? Your method of thinking is severely skewed.
You would think that somebody would decide to come up with a digital encryption sort of like what is being used on music sites now adays that would stop the casual stealing of images.

The "protection" used on iTunes was cracked over a year ago. DRM hasn't slowed the casual sharing of music at all, it's just restricted what legitimate customers can do with the music they've purchased.
Wow, I am dumbfounded. This is good stuff to be knowing about, and I am also appauled at Setzler comment that this doesn't have to be public. Like .... I say, everybody here has the right to know whats going on out there. Jim that doesn't me in the least that I am less inspired by your work, it is still amazing. I would just appreciate you guys letting us know how this worked out for you, and how it happend. Remember some of us here still use the site to learn something new every now and then, and this is an enormous issue for lots of people here.
I would even propose that somebody with the knowledge start a learning thread, on how to spot, stop, and people to contact on image stealing and/or a whole new section in the forums for image stealing.

The image still has to go from the decoder to the screen. People can hijack it there. It may be possible to do this with something like carbon copy, where you copy one PCs screen to a remote PC.
