Anyone searching for ways to protect images online will undoubtedly have found the many articles written about "Five to ten ways to protect your images online" but they all have two things in common. One is that they do not list any effective means to prevent copy by PrintScreen or screen capture, and two is that they are all copies of someone else's copy of someone else's article. Obviously no real research has been done at all otherwise they would have found the only secure method for protecting images online and it has been around for more than 20 years.


In fact most of the methods recommended were originally developed and/or promoted by ArtistScope who published the first article about image protection in 1998. But such is plagiarism and most of what we do see on the web today is just that... stolen and borrowed information that has been duplicated to attract search engines. The best way to copy protect images online is to prevent them from being copied by all methods of save, copy, capture and download. Why methods are recommended that don't do that is polluting the Internet with useless information that will only encourage people to trust methods that are ineffective against anyone intent on stealing an image.

To copy protect images online from all copy, see the software available at ArtistScope. They have all media covered with solutions to copy protect images, copy protect PDF, copy protect video, and if you have a virtual server as opposed to a site on a shared hosting server, you can use the most effective web protection imaginable that will copy protect all media including the text and data on your web pages and the source code behind them.

ArtistScope solutions cater for both online web page display and reading on the desktop. In fact the most commonly used ArtistScope solution is CopySafe PDF Protection which is the most secure PDF security software and it caters for both desktop and online reading.
