Thieves - 7/11/2005 12:50:44
You know that your graphics are going to be stolen. I accept that. The alternative is to not put them up.
I just wonder if there's a magical trick to giving them what I do give them--a one pixel dot, without the tedium of changing file names etc.
What I mean is I have to go through each and every instance of theft, give them the file name that's now a pixel dot, and upload the changed file-name so I don't lose my original.
It's a tedious job. Just wondered if there's an easier way.
Thanks.

This sounds like a radical (i.e., fundamental) move. It would solve everything in one fell swoop.
But I'd have to do this every month wouldn't I? I go through the thieves once a month. And scary of all is wouldn't it wreck everything to rename my "images" (yes, that's where my graphics are) to something like "images1"? And then the next month, "imagesx"? I'm sorry I'm a little afraid of this, but if all my images would remain, only under a different name--e.g., images1, I'd go for it. What a great and simple idea.
And yes, before I started giving them a one pixel spot, I did in some cases give them an image I'm sure shocked them--at least it shocked me to find an image that I figured would be an appropriate slam at them.

and just to enhance mike's point, be certain to do the renaming from within fp - not thru windows explorer or anything else

Tried it on a site that doesn't matter much to me and all is well. I lose none of my images, but I'm sure the thieves just did. By the way, these are people who are hot-linking. I don't mind the ones who put them on their own server. In fact, a lot of them request permission first.
This is brilliant. Did you just come up with this today?

Thank you all.
One more question. When I change my images file to "imagesx", do I then have to publish the entire site or just the images file?
Sorry I didn't do a search for this problem, but I bet a lot of people are getting a lot out of your answers.

Also, how would I know if I'm on a Windows or Linus server? Ask my web host. This sounds real promissing. Stop hotlinking altogether?!

when you change the name of the images file, every link to it must be changed and those pages must be published

or you could go here to NetCraft:
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph
and put your domain in the top middle box. That should tell you what your host is using.

Add this script to your page and theives will not be able to right click on your image.
<script language="JavaScript">
function clickIE() {
if (document.all) {
return false;
}
}
function clickNS(e) {
if (document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!document.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS;
}
else{
document.onmouseup=clickNS;
document.oncontextmenu=clickIE;
}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("return false")
</script>

Sooner or later they should get tired of stealing.
