How can I prevent my photos to be downloaded?
-
Hello. I read on wordpress.org that there is a plugin that could be uploaded to prevent my images from being easily downloaded. But it seems that I cannot upload that plugin on this site. What can I do to prevent my images from being downloaded? Thanks.

What’s best for your wordpress.com hosted blog is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text that you don’t want stolen on the internet at all.
If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled via CSS but that’s not available on any other themes. This is because anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat.
For clarity you can read what Staff said here about Duotone https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-disable-right-click-on-photos?replies=5#post-1659713 but in the end the effect still means the answer is the same one I posted above.

re: plugins
You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted sites with wordpress.ORG software installs.WordPress.com blogs have built-in plugins only.
Blogger installed plugin capability does not exist on WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.
For that type of functionality, you’d need a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install running on a paid web hosting service.

You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
