Image copyright question... web design

[S.Fe-Web-Design]

I am working on a friends web site, and she wants the images on her site, when printed, to print out pixelated and distorted to ensure noone can steal her images.

Also, is it possible to program the site so that when someone right-clicks to copy an image on her site, the image that they copy has a watermark on the image, but the original image on the site does not have a visible watermark?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that that is impossible (both the printing and copying)

Just put a small bit of text in each image saying "Copyright domain.tld 2006+"

Add this code inside the header of the page you want to prevent images from being printed:

<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" />

Now make a new textfile called print.css and in it, put this:

 img { display: none; }

When the user tries to print this page from their browser, all the images will be missing.


Now, for preventing people from right-clicking and saving images, I like to use this method: http://www.angelfire.com/on3/vxdoin2/bugsy.htm
Basicly, you have a transparent image with a background of the real image. View the source of that page and you'll see what I mean.
