No-one likes piracy, so how can you stop people stealing your digital images? There is only one sure method: Store your data on a computer in a secure office - and don't connect it to the internet. I'm not kidding. I was speaking to a commercial lawyer friend who deals with multi-million dollar litigation, and if his stuff is super-confidential, that's exactly what he does. Recently we had an irate client complain that some of her images had been pirated from Workspace, and ask how we could let that happen. She explained how it was done (I'm not going to tell you) and she was quite right. Within a minute or so we had done the same. On Workspace, and on two of our biggest competitors as well! Truth is, piracy can't be stopped, but we've done what we can to minimise it: 1. We've disabled the methods by which an idle viewer could rip off your images (right-clicking for example). 2. We've implemented a free watermarking function* 3. We've made sure that people can only steal the low-res proxies. Bottom line, no-one can stop anyone grabbing a screen shot. But in Workspace that's about the best they can do: your high-res files are securely locked away on Amazon server farms around the world, until you sell them. No-one likes piracy, but the rules of engagement on the web are simple: 1. If it's online, assume it can be stolen. 2. If you seriously object to people stealing screen-res images, keep them small. Not letting people see them at all might be safer, but not good for business. 3. Don't put the crown jewels online, even as low-res, until you have your money. Don't burn them to DVD either - game over! 4. Keep your prices reasonable, so that potential customers see the value. 5. Remind yourself, it's better to be pirated than ignored. You probably have to chose one or the other! Cheers Ian PS The Workspace watermarking function protects your images by creating a new set of watermarked JPG proxies that are displayed in your image galleries and gallery slideshows - but not in story boards, the shopping cart and album layouts, where the images have been (or may be) cropped.
