    If I upload a photo to flickr it some how stops my views from being able to right click on a photos and copy/paste it.

    Is there a way of doing this to my wordpress media?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,
    What’s best is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text you don’t want stolen on the internet at all. If you are referring to images this may help http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/19/watermark-your-blog-images/

    There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.com and WordPress.ORG have different logins.

    If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled. It’s not available on any other themes here and will not become available as it creates a false sense of security. Anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat.

    Trust me, I’m not a hacker, but it takes me mere seconds to get around the Flickr copy protection. I’ve even had people with copy protected Flickr photos tell me to hack the code to steal them. The protection is flimsy at best.
