How can I disable the print screen on my website?

Print On Demand

I have had a lot of problems in the past with theft of my images and information at my website. Since these items are in high demand, people keep trying to steal my photos. I have a right click disable code, but my images can still be printed and stolen. Do you know of any good print screen disable html codes? Thanks

    There’s no foolproof way to prevent people copying images from a website. The best you can do is to use watermarks and low-resolution images.

    There are codes that can disable the print screen command, but works for the Windows print screen command and usually will not block any third party screen capture software.

    Trying to stop this is sadly like trying to attack an insane asylum with a banana.

    If someone wants your images, there is precious little that can be dome.

    However! Try watermarking your images using http://www.visualwatermark.com/ or other such software. This will not prevent anyone from stealing your photos, but can allow you to prove that the buggers stole your work and you can go after them.

    Things like your right-click disable code and other JavaScript tricks don’t really do anything. Someone who wants your images and HTML can get it. This is the nature of the web. If you’re doing typical images and HTML and JavaScript, people can steal your stuff.

    One realistic alternative is to do all the important bits (photos, etc) in Flash. This often can embed the graphics and text in a format that makes it hard to disassemble extract. Again, it’s not impossible to extract these things from Flash, but it raises the bar. People can’t simply disable JavaScript or do something simple. The have to go get a reverse engineering tool.

    Remember, JavaScript executes in the person’s web browser, and people can control their web browsers. I can, for example, say "no javascript from his site, but allow javascript on other sites." Then your rightclick protection does nothing and I steal all the images I want. Your best bet is to protect using Flash, but remember that everything you put on the web can be stolen. There’s nothing you can do to stop that.
