I recently stumbled across a blog where someone had copied a couple of images that I had personally taken and used them in their own site.
This led me to investigate what options there are available to me to protect my blog to prevent someone from copying images from any of my sites again.
I carried out a few internet searches geared around the subject image copyright and eventually discovered a plugin called blog protector. It is a very simple plugin that is easy to activate and can do 2 things:
- Disable right clicking on an image and saving it to their PC. Instead, when you right-click, it displays a customisable warning message.
- Disable left-click selection of blog text content
If someone is determined to copy your images or content then they will still be able to find a way to do this (I’m obviously not going to share with you how), but for every day internet users, using the blog protector plugin should hopefully be enough of a deterrent and they will go off to find an alternative site that is easier to copy.
Happy blogging !
