i thought you said you couldn't download stuff 7.1

ok you have an option to stop downloads from dolphin.. but you need to block the explorers SAVE AS for pics and videos.

a little harder then PHP I sugest you use java api and find how to block that right click menu option. i have seen it done before and that's old technology.. got to make the users safe and happy.. some of their stuff they don't want anyone to make copies off... better get a good coder. or find one on rentacoder.com. that DEF
INATELY NEEDS TO BE FIXED no one likes to get ripped off.

 this is not a Dolphin problem.

[edit] also, what are you to do with the actions button "View Original" on the photo page?

If your members feel so strong about this, make use of the store and use "proofs" of the images for the thumbnails, and charge to actually download the image.

proofs? do you mean watermarks. ok i'll test them but they never really worked in the first place.

the save as feature also works on videos by the way.. and i do not see water marks for that one yet.. the saved videos do save to the harddrive from firefox save as under the extension .webm

Some hosts have Leech Protection available in the Cpanel. This works in most cases.

added to htaccess in root directory is suppose to stop leechers from stealing the extensions listed above. for some reason i am still able to save from the website to the harddrive. remember this is a windows operating system with apache 2. anyone who solves this gets full credit in my about list on my website.

What you're trying to accomplish isn't entirely possible. 

The code you posted prevents hot linking your content from other sites, not stopping a user from right clicking and saving it. You would be hard-pressed to find a suitable method to prevent people from saving images without some form of DRM (bad).

Think about it - this is how the internet is built to work. User browses web page, page code gives instruction on how to look at what is on the site. In this instruction list, it tells the browser what pages & images it needs to download to cache. If a user couldn't download this content, they wouldn't see anything.

Adding a simple 'right click' blocker isn't going to do anything but make the task a little more difficult. 

Show me a site that you think this is working on, and I'll attach one of their 'protected' images to this post.

 He is correct.

Here is a great example..

take this image and site, 

http://www.art.com/products/p12819576661-sa-i6390318/gray-hardel-underwater-scene-in-the-tropics.htm?sorig=cat&sorigid=1970&dimvals=1970&ui=ab27f31142a2484280c4219f66e2080d&ssk=sea+life

try and right click to save, it will only save html code.

right click again and this time select "view page source"

just a couple lines in is the URL for the "protected" image, http://imgc.artprintimages.com/images/art-print/gray-hardel-underwater-scene-in-the-tropics_i-G-61-6169-LLSG100Z.jpg

they even have a digital "proof" on the image.."that will not be included with original"

good luck..

To prevent this; what would be needed is a way to prevent the browsers from caching the images; and for videos which often need buffering, the buffer would have to be a ram buffer that is cleared and not hard drive buffering of videos.  This would mean that each time the person visited the page the browser would request the data for the image which is not cached to the hard drive and display it; perhaps a temp ram cache that gets discarded once someone leaves the page.  Also, the save page feature of browsers would need to be rewritten so that the images are not copied and saved; perhaps some way of tagging images to tell browsers to not save a local copy of them.

Basically the web was not designed to prevent illegal theft of copyrighted material although that may eventually change.  I have had my copyrighted images stolen and reused so I understand the concern but currently trying to prevent it is difficult.  Perhaps a mod for images that embed a digital copyright for each user; which while it does not prevent the theft, can help prove the theft.

hmm.. let me think....

java is mostly api programmer routines simular to bios commands but in the operating system.

a list of usuable subroutines that java taps into.. seems to be command ground in java.

most systems have their own java interpretor for those command sets. kinda like basic was suppose to be.

java has disk read write. but everyone is saying its saving from the cache. i have an hour long show on my site and that can't definately be stored in the cache. i have to assume the save as is taking it off the drive. now i know for a fact someone has already solved the issue in the mp3 flash mod of dolphin code. so you can do it with flash. unfortunately that was third party code. and i can not afford the tools to rip it apart and go looking for it. but it is totally easy to do if you know how. mine costs 180 bux to get the basic tools i need for it. that will stop every flash mod from using save and save as functions on all your test explorers that you have listed on dolphin. if not that then a java blocker. good hackers can do that easily. after all the main loop of any program is just a keystroke/menu select loop going to routines.

I'll think about it later. its christmas right now and i got lots of bills

 If your speaking of video, that would be buffered to the users computer.

Now downloading videos is much easier here on Dolphin, "Real Player" will download every single video you have. Just open a video and "real player" popup appears and ask "download this video"

It's a browser plug-in..

Really, no content is safe.

I have Camtasia Studio as well which allows you to record the entire screen or a selected area, again taking video that is not "supposed" to be downloaded is too easy today and too hard to fight or worry about.

oh come on if you can crack games and play god. it's pretty easy to write java script to totally wipe out most browser save as functions. and others.. like they are going to buffer 1 hour worth of video? i don't think so.. it's streaming. and the save as is taking it off the drive.

What Joe says is true, one might could write an "app" that would seek out and disable such download apps.  However, one would have to have it as a trojan and install it illegally on a user's computer.

Just watermark content.

 Of course the content is coming from your hard drive and the users.

There is no app you can ever make that will keep me from easily taking a screenshot and I have your photo..hence why I said to use a proof (watermark) for photos.

What is the problem with buffering one hour of video, I have movies on a site and they buffer the complete movie to my computer and I can play at will once I get the full buffer.

i.e. http://www.duvallocals.info/m/videos/view/BladeRunner 1:56:26  go view and start the movie, pause and you will see the entire movie buffer to your pc..

again, there is no easy way to stop a determined person from doing this.

hmmm.. playstation 3 has cineva protection.. stops people from pirating movies.. works rather good actually. but again it's on the machine. let me think. most compiled programs work on a loop to call routines. especially menu systems like all browsers have. and make calls to functions in the operating system. usually those call bios. can't remember the exactly interrupt for read/write but it is there in bios.

it use to be a disk access routine. even works on sectors. but inorder to understand how files are composed you need to know a little buit about their structure such as doublely linked lists. one that points to the last sector and the other that points to the next sector. that's how the files are built up and stored on media in the first place. kinda like internet packets cept a different format. that's a difficult one as there are many different machines including ipod that access dolphin. and i had news that gifs do not work on playstation 3 (sigh. i love those things) and that ipod is too dimmly lit (at least for black flash). now whoever did your third part flash modules has the fix already. it's located in the mp3 flash module. try and save from playing mp3s. i could go into it and yank it out but i have to buy the software to do it. as it is i will have to wait for gst money to come in and that isn't till mid january 2013. the process is pretty simple.. find the blocking code.. rip it out and then install it into the photos/videos flash mods. I can say whoever did you flash mods was a really good programmer but it still has many glitches in it. is it safe to upload and or modify it for dolphin or will the third party get pissed off and sue for using his/her modified code with boonex?

 umm, what!?
