It's in a beta stage, but an intriguing idea.

Instead of giving out the .jpg file to the client, the client gets a snippet of html and javascript code that they paste into the web page in order to display the image.

This code snippet loads a small flash program that checks the validity of the license profile created with the software and if everything checks out, the image is loaded.

Since the image is contained in a Flash applet it can’t be ‘right-clicked’ and saved by website visitors and redistributed who knows where.

Also the license profile can be activated and deactivated at will so if you have a client that doesn̢۪t pay on time you can just deactivate the license profile and the image will stop displaying on their website.

The only draw back to this idea is the screen shot is still a way to steal an image.

Yeah, I made that edit.

But, this is still an interesting idea. If, the programmer could somehow have the app. distinguish between a screen shot and a non screen shot, and still deter thieves, this could be cool.
