Best Online Photo Album Website with Protection

OK, your little Javacript app reads the system date, determines that the document has expired, and does not allow it to be read. The viewer counters by moving his computer's clock back a few days and goes happily about looking at it after all of your efforts. In addition it clearly states on that page "However, this part can be beaten by simply turning off JavaScript".

For the last time: THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM USING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS AS THEY DESIRE IS TO NOT ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THEM. I'm done here.

That sounds like a lot of work for once again no gain, plus it'll probably piss off your customers.

What customers?

In my experience... and I know this will sound a little harsh, but... the people who are most concerned about having their images stolen are those who are least at risk of it happening to them.

If I were you I would worry more about your photography and worry less about technical challenges for which there are no solutions.

No matter what kind of "protection" you use, if it can be seen on someone's screen, it can be copied in 2 seconds. Period.

Exactly. You do not need PRINT SCREEN or right click to save the image. ANY image that you see can be copied.

If you're that worried about it then throw a massive watermark through the center of the image and call it a day. That will deter 90% of the population from saving it.

The other 10% will just save it and remove the watermark themselves. In which case they would get it anyway.

Thanks to all who participated in in this thread. It turned out to be an educational experience for me and I hope others as well. Look forward to learning more about photography from this forum. Agan, thanks to all again.
