[Leica] Right Click and Copyright

If you can see it on your screen it can be saved to disk either via the 
source
to the page and the subsequent URL or via a screen capture program.

You'll note that we don't get many "large" images from the newspapers, I 
assume
for just that reason.

DVD playback software usually makes the attempt to protect the screen from 
being
captured but there are almost always ways around it.

This is the downside to digital - as Brian said - bits are forever and once 
you
have them out there they are going to be floating around and viewable, and
usable, for everyone. Since "everyone" knows that it's okay to take what you 
can
find on the net whether it's software, music, or images - well, what you put 
up
to show will be stolen.

I've never looked at digital watermarks but for images you really care about
they might be useful - at least in proving that you own or created an image.
