Twitter pic question
So im thinking of making a twitter for my MFC fans who spend over 200 tokens or somthing I havnt made up my mind on price and they would have accesse to my twitter pictures and posts, but I was wondering if there way a way to lock pictures. So you cant save them to your computer or take them. Iv been on sites before where you cant do it but I dont know how they do it. Anyone know what im talking about or how to do it?

Theres way to slow the process of someone taking the images but it would be impossible to completely stop it. Print Screen comes to mind for an easy way of getting images, firefox also has a built in method to getting around any security for images that you shouldnt be able to download.

Re: Twitter pic question
You probably mean sites where for example when you right click it says "Right click disabled" <-- that is done with JavaScript. But you can always save images just by dragging them to your desktop so that's very easy to circumvent.
Or Flickr uses a pretty nifty way of not allowing saving images (I think they set the image as a background for a div element so that cannot be dragged to your desktop but you can always pull the image from files associated to the webpage)
The only way when it's really not possible to pull the image itself is when it's in flash, but as Jenny points out a simple PrntScrn can be saved and then cropped.
*Anything* you post to the internet can be copied in some way. Of course you have to take into account the laziness factor - if you do some of these things it could cut down on your images being saved or copied but *never* eliminate it.
