Copy protecting images
Can I prevent images from being copied?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Some images I use are copyright and I would like to restrict the ‘right click’ “save image as” function. Is this possible through WordPress?

Hi there,
Please note that it wouldn’t be possible to disable right-clicking on WordPress.com. Even if it were, people can still grab and save the image by taking a screenshot. Because of this, I highly recommend watermarking all your images. You can view more about this here:
This will help thwart any unauthorized use.
Please note that it’s against the law in the United States and in many other countries to reproduce text or images created by someone else without their permission, even if you provide a citation.
Here’s some information about Fair Use from the U.S. Copyright Office:

Let me know if you have any questions with this!
