I would be happy to write something for fso...unless you would like to. If not, can I quote you and attribute to you? I could tell you how I right click protect my images, but a print-screen will work around that. THere is no fool proof measure, you can only make it more difficult. I also heard of a site that somehow monitors the internet for your work and alerts you if it finds something elsewhere...i bet I never saved that info.Suburban Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135537886717771317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-61047534780606528932013-03-22T10:19:17.291-07:002013-03-22T10:19:17.291-07:00Daryl, you may wish to check out the wallpaper sit...Daryl, you may wish to check out the wallpaper sites & see if they scraped from you.

That is a whole other story.

It's so blatantly wrong for these wallpaper sites to act as they do.<br /><br />Unfortunately for me, I don't see such a plug-in with Blogger. I have considered moving to Wordpress, which also provides a way to prevent hotlinks. But moving is a process that I'm not sure I'm up to.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-34671365757494903732013-03-21T06:30:51.708-07:002013-03-21T06:30:51.708-07:00Kerry, I have traced the owner of Palmlix.com to I...Kerry, I have traced the owner of Palmlix.com to Indonesia but I am still unable to get my images taken down because he hides his contact information or doesn't respond and because he uses a cloud service that makes it harder to track down the original hosting provider. I have been given the wrong one or they are not responding to the DMCA Takedown Notifications I have sent. Sites like his are really despicable. <br /><br />With my Wordpress blog I was able to install a plugin that blocks the entire country of Indonesia, they just get a message saying I don't allow viewers from their country. I don't know if your blogging platform has something like that plugin.

Huh. That's terrible. How are you supposed to stream movies? It's bad when a company has a monopoly on being an area's internet provider. I re-installed cable now, & everything is working fine.<br /><br />There's a way to prevent right-clicking on images, but I'm not sure how to do it, or if I'd have to do it for each pic. Word Press has a way of stopping hotlinking, but I see no way on Blogger. There is also some way of preventing a picture from being picked up & moved from a website, but I need to research that. A pain for sure.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.com
