I’d like to restrict image downloading but don’t really want to watermark, I know Imagizer does that…Note that any download blocking techniques are like obfuscation techniques. They are a pain to the user and will not stop downloading or copying in any way. Google will still index the images in their image search, I can just go there to get it. Or I can select it on the page and press CTRL+C (or CMD+C) to copy it.
The browser will always download the image to be able to display it, this means I can always get this image somewhere.
If you don’t believe me, check out Chris Coyier over at CSS-Tricks, he has an article about fighting image theft. One of the techniques he mentions (#2) would be my favourite: adding a big copyright claim to the bottom of the image and hiding it with CSS. Funny thing, he also puts right-click blocking as ineffective and especially annoying.
Felt like I had to add this point of view to the conversation.
