I want to put some pictures on my web site but want to prevent any user from downloading them. How can this be done?
Thanks for your input.

There is a similar question posted in the Discussion area with some JAVA code listed that may help.

Keep in mind, that if someone really wants the images, all they need to do is a screen capture, or save the web page, and they will have the images.

The best way to protect your intellectual property rights to images is to add a watermark to the image.

You also might want to place only a low resolution version of the image.

You could use an applet to show your images.

Like http://www.6sense.com/applets/applets.asp

But, as already mentioned one can take a print screen of the window and keep the image. Apart from water marking, you may try to change the image with check boxes (or any other transitional effects) after every few secs in the applet to deter users, which may not be a good idea though.
