An easy way to stop people copying your content is to add this to your body tag <body oncontextmenu="return false;">. That's all! This is not a fail-safe way, but for the average internet user it will stop them and even frustrate the hell out of them. They will quickly go somewhere where the content is easier to steal!

Most sites you can just highlight the text or images you want and copy it and put it on your own site. This code stops people doing this. They cannot right click on your pages, text or images to copy or save it as...It also stops them trying to do it using their keyboard shortcuts!

I hope this helps.

Classic anti-right click. Figured out how to get around it long time ago. I still like.

To copy content, just look at the source code and copy! My solution keeps away the average joe, any websmart guy can work it out.

I think the safest is to flash your whole site. But of course, non-flash enabled browsers will see nothing, which is necessarily a bad idea. But the Internet is a freely available medium. If your content is stolen, it just means your content is good and worth stealing. As long as you remain as the authority of the issue-at-hand, it should not bother you much.

Proton, it's easy to rip a flash file, decompile it, and export its components.

Well, it takes a lot of work, that it is not going to be easy for a casual copier. Given enough time, any determined person out there can get what they want, no matter what you do.

True, an average person won't know how to "right click + view source" on a .swf file.

If there are other more innovative ways, please post them here!

That kind of things are not user-friendly and will force your visitors to leave. Once the browser opens all the images from any site, they are stored on the hard drive. The only way to protect something is not to upload it on a server.

LOL, "The only way to protect something is not to upload it on a server." I liked that. But sharing is caring. Good information must share. :)
