What ways do you use to protect copy righted images in your website?

A:
Not sure you can whilst people have the ability to hit "alt-print screen". You can prevent right clicking so they can't directly download the image and you can protect your folders so that you can't directly navigate to the image but that's about it really.
alt-print screen is your biggest permanent problem.

You can't prevent direct navigation to the pics - they still need to be available for an HTTP get, so to get the image that is all i have to do.

Really the only way to protect images is to put huge watermarks on them, or only show them smaller than their original size. This is assuming you're displaying art or something else of that nature. All the tricks of disabling right click or using a css background or making a script output the image data only slow people down. If you can see something, you can save it. All it takes is a screenshot.

Put them behind a protected area and only give access to people you trust. If it's of the public portion on the site, you can't protect them. You can just inform people that the images are copyrighted, but the users can grab them at will.

i don't know any method that you works 100% however, don't upload high quality images,it means that people can get but hesitate to use your images by trying these circumvented methods:
- no right-click script
- Shrink wrapping letting the thief download something other than original one.
- Watermarking
- Using Flash makes harder to get it
