  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.

  Hello,

  If I can see your photo on a web page, I can copy it…and so can anyone else…no matter what precautions you have taken…just by shooting a screenshot…no problem.

  Thanks for your concern, @timethief, but here’s why I added what I aded:

  You started your answer by pointing out the futility of trying to prevent any kind of information on the Internet from being copied by adding warnings and copyright notices…very true…and I was adding to that by pointing out the fact that everything could be copied with a simple screenshot…which actually a lot of people still don’t realize.

  Sigh … yes I knew that. I will update my copy paste to include that.
