Re: copyprotection of images
Guys, I recognize my idea was wrong, and have no doubt you can catch my kitty. :) Still, source encoding is a bit more resistant to page save.

You are better off just using that above base64 encoded image in the document. Saves you HTTP requests too.
For large images page loading could then take too much time?

You’re just delaying the load of (large) images; on complex pages the user may end up with ‘holes‘ in the page – or equally annoying for the user, a layout reflow after page load. As I noted earlier in this thread, current UA’s do lots of work to attempt to fetch images faster (prefetching) and your technique actually defeats that completely.
Where is that emoji for a solar powered submarine when you need it ?

Thank you for the comment, but it’s debatable whether waiting few seconds in front of the white screen is a better experience. You can set image height and width initially, to avoid reflows, and you can instruct browsers to prefetch their encoded sources as well. And who cares about these cat thieves? :)

Hi Oleg ;)
That’s fun but we can get the image (finding its URL).
The only one solution is to use watermarks.

Hi Patrick,
you cheat, Average Joe doesn’t look at the page source. :) OK, reload the page and try to get the image URL.

Thanks lot Oleg. Now I have a nice kitten (png format) on my desktop. Everyone love kittens.
But you’re right: only 5% (maybe) look at the page source. Only 1% (maybe) use a website sniffer.

Re: copyprotection of images
I absolutely don’t care about image protection, that’s only an exercise. And there still is a perfectly noob way to copy the page with image source, you are just lazy. :)
