A few months ago I recall seeing a plugin being pitched that would prohibit your content and images on your site from being copied and/or downloaded.

Anyone know of something like this?

Much thanks

    You could install a plugin (script) that doesn't allow to make right clicks on your website, but honestly, if you want to protect your images you have to set up a whole security system and even then, I can just screen capture your website and edit out what I need

    Keep in mind that you can't stop piracy, you can only make things more difficult for pirates, and things like disabling right click will annoy many non-pirates.

      Thanks all - and yes, I agree you can't stop 'em all, just discourage a tad. Appreciate the answers.

    I can't recommend any of those. Disabling right clicks, using frame breakers, using JavaScript to hide url path or do other non sense, is all silly.
    In the end, the users that REALLY want to take something from your website, just have to press CTRL + S and save the website to their hard drive and then they have ALL of your content. Meanwhile the honest users of your website are being annoyed by compromised user experience.

    This is the same issues as in the video gaming industry and all the DRM bullshit that is going on.
    Honest users buy the game for the full price, but are then limited to only 5 installations, or have to be always online to play, get a disconnect and can't play anymore, or create an online account and verify their identity etc. while the people that illegally download it, get a crack and can play it offline without any issues and install it as many times as they want.

    In other words, anti piracy measures never stopped piracy, it only burdens the honest customers.
