Solution compilation for leeching pictures

[jsbn]

Hopefully mods make it into a sticky. In that way, if there's a need to answer this pressing problem (which will potentially cost the reputation of every single serious photographer), there can be a quick reference to it.

Feel free to add on!

Solutions:
- Javascript to block right-click>save?
- Anti-leeching codes?
- Paid forum access for specific sections?
- Hire a lawyer to sue the hell out of any forum/group/website/individual that leeches?
- Hardcopy print/bring it on a laptop and show it to fellow clubsnappers during SEED?
- For all those who want access to Portrait shoots must do a seperate registration?

anti leeching codes can be done but only to stop direct linking. all you need is to make sure that browsers that view the pictures have a proper referer (ie: clubsnap).

however, it still will not stop people from downloading the picture or pulling it out of their temp folders and then pasting it.

so alternative is to translucent watermark the whole picture
