  Hi,

  Is it possible for me to post images in a way that images cannot be copied (e.g., right-click and save as)?

  thanks!

  According to the answer by timethief in the forum topic “photo privacy,” there is one WP.com theme that has right click disabled by default (Duotone), while the feature is “not available on all other themes.” The reason being that disabling right click does not prevent image theft, a workaround being easily found and implemented.

  timethief suggests watermarking images instead:

  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. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2007/10/19/watermark-your-blog-images/ See also http://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/
