Re: [Digital BW] Re: OT: Copyright protection of images on a webpage

2006-01-05 by Steve Kale

Thanks for all those who replied on and off list.  As a general rule I don't
want to disable or force upon a viewer certain conditions (eg toolbar
removal or forced full-screen).  If there is a way for the user to toggle
removal of the toolbar or full screen then I will suggest they do so for
optimal viewing.  So far I have suggested that PC users hit F11 and that Mac
users Auto Show/Hide the Dock.  Is there something more I can suggest? I
think I am going to go with a very simple copyright statement/slug on the
initial page and leave it at that.  I want to keep the images as small as
possible so am happy with the meta data stripped.  My only concern is that
should I ever find one of my little web images elsewhere I can clearly point
to my intention to enforce copyright.  Although I must say that I'd be quite
flattered if I did.  I've still got a lot to do on the site but have the
general layout largely sorted.

Thanks again.

Steve
