gbulmash's Journal: Easiest Way To Stop Image Thieves

Most stuff I see about stopping image thieves has to do with stopping hotlinking. But what about stopping people from merely copying the image or making it harder for them to find a URL to hotlink to?

This amazingly simple trick won't stop the dedicated thief, but makes it more work for those who know how to get around it and stymies those who don't. It's just HTML, no JavaScript, mod_rewrite, or plugins required.
