simply put you cant. when you view a website the images are downloaded onto your computer and stored. also you have the print screen button which you cant disabled. there are to many ways you can steal and very few ways that prevent it and even those you can get around. the best way not to get people to steal your images is not stick them on the web.

You keep them off of the web.

No way known to man, at best you could watermark them, or at least embed in flash - but really the simplest solution is to keep them off the web in the first place

one way i saw that worked but it was a pain was to either slice the image up into 4 therefore the image theif would have to copy and rebuild four images OR... a thing i tried was to use Photoshop into colour layers and use div's to lay them on top of each other to reconstitute the image.... a long way round and it was not really working but... it could be a fun project for someone...

If you really want to be able to prove ownership of stolen images then as well as a visible watermark you can also add an invisible digital watermark.

Use yout domain name as the visible watermark and anyone who steals and uses your images will be advertising your site.

you still cant disable the print scr button no matter what they say, the only way they could is to launch a virus onto your computer and disable it, its also kept in the temporary internet files. HA, also i just found out for you to view the site:
The latest Copysafe plugin is required to view Copysafe content.
check out the link here: http://download.copysafe.net/Plugin/download.html , this would only intent turn away your visitors.

Nothing can work because of the nature of computers and the web. What you should have said is "If you have a lot of money here is a useless product to waste some of it on".
