  Hi there,

  Please note that would not be possible, and even if we were able to disable the ability to save/copy images, readers can easily take a screenshot of the image and save that. It would nearly be impossible to stop this.

  However, 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:

  Here’s a great support guide that offers ways to prevent content theft:
