    Don't be fooled by this - the supposed ways of copy protecting
    information on website usually relies on features in the browser
    used to view it. For example, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and
    Netscape allow you to put code into your web page which disables
    their 'right click' and 'save' functions but, if you use a different
    browser such as Opera or Mozilla, this doesn't work and you can copy
    and save pictures and other information as you wish..  The only
    relatively safe way of placing pictures on your website is to bind
    them up in a Flash or Java script but, even then, the pictures can
    be saved - if at a lower resolution, by using a screen grabber type
    of software. Adding a 'watermark' to pictures is probably the best
    way of protecting your work.
