How are my images protected from theft with BigBlackBag?

Despite what our competition may claim, there is no infallible method of protecting your images. Right-mouse-clicks and dragging and dropping images on the Mac can be prevented (and we do employ this method within your galleries and slideshows), however one can simply take a screen capture (print screen) to steal a copy of your image(s) at the exact same quality and resolution it is displayed at. Flash websites are no better at protecting you from this. Any experienced web user can also view your website's source code to steal images as well. Embedded IPTC data does not afford much protection either as it can be scrubbed from a file. The only true protection you have is by watermarking your images as it makes using your images impractical and therefore undesirable. If you are truly concerned about image theft, then consider using our copyright symbol watermark feature which positions the watermark in the center of your images so its removal is next to impossible.
