Yep, you are right. I have seen a major Middle Eastern satellite magazine (no not Tele Satallite), "borrowed" our pictures and step by step instructions on how to install a motorized system. Where ever our logo or website is present on the photo they covered it. Not even one mention of our website on the article. They did that on two consecutive issues.
I am not sure if our policy of disallowing right click on 95% of browsers is a good or bad idea? What do you think?
We can easily change that. Any suggestions? |
As to a magazine "borrowing" I personally would have contacted them and state it is ok to use the content from the website but in exchange for permission a statement indicating source. Seems like free advertising to me especially if they used your logos. Now if you do not sell to middle eastern countries ...
As to your policy I do not think it really matters to the majority. A lock is only meant to slow down a thief just as nothing is hack proof. The question is the level of difficulty. It does provide a small level of security as instead of dealing with workarounds someone can just go to a different site.
If it were me I think I would state all content from this site is free to be used unaltered on another's site providing your logo is present and clickable to your site and you are made aware of the url & approve of the site it is used at. I would also specify a minimum size your logo must be.
This gets you more exposure (1) provides a route to your site (2) & you can check the site for it's content. You may not want your content displayed at that particular site (3).
My thoughts
EDIT: What I would do is delete boroda1's post. I personally do not think it wise to post how to get around an attempted security measure on one's own site.
