Copying Photos
-
Hi there
I have looked at the various suggestions made by wordpress about people wo may copy my photos I post on my blog.
Merely posting a copyright on my blog or putting a water mark on each photo is wholly inadequate protection against theft.
I am quite shocked at how limited this is with wordpress as it is a well known website all over the world. My albums on Flickr are all safe and cannot be copied.
How come people can just swoop down and ‘save as’ my images.
I value all my images and they have always been safe on Flickr until now.
They are professional images that I’ve taken after years of travelling.I paid good money for this blogsite.
Help please
Andy

Wrong. Flicks from Flickr can be copied just as easily as from any other site.
That’s just how computers work.

Hi there…….
Right: you can copy from anything that is unprotected on Flickr including all thumbnails. However, you can set up your sets so if someone tries to right-click and ‘save as’ it will say “This photo is copy right reserved”.
Anything similar to that here?
Help please?
Cheers

Well, banning the easy “right-click” to “save as” is not so difficult to over-ride if one is even mildly determined to copy a picture.
As for wp.com, no, there is not any such impediment at all.
You could publish only very small thumbnails, or use watermarks.
