netabrookie 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Hello, I am just wondering why that on some sites or individual patterns that you cant save the image. I like to look around and find patterns/recipes and save the ones I like so that I can try them when I get a chance. Are they afraid that we will copy the image and then say that we did it? What is the point in posting something on a site where people are trying to learn and then not let them save the picture? Oh well, my small mind proubly just can't understand the reasoning behind all of this. Sorry to have complained Take Care, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

utyer 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Content on any web site, is the property of the site's owner. They created the text and images. If they choose to protect those by not allowing you to copy them it is there right. Many sites are supported by selling advertising, the more times you have to go to a site, the more times you will view the advertising. Thats just the way it works.

ILikeFish 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2008 I would probably do it that way too.... ups the hits, and lowers the amount of people stealing your photos. Id rather my photos ONLY be posted on my site. Theres usually way around the "no right clicking" on sites, but I'll keep that to myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proudcdn 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Hello All, To get around this: 1) Right click on the page and choose View Source, View Page Source, or View HTML. I will use this website as an example (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_fishing). I will show you how to save the picture of the rainbow trout caught in Bristol Bay (about 1/2 way down the page on the right). 2) A page will open with what will look like a bunch of gibberish. This is in fact the code that webmasters use to make the page look the way i does. 3) Look on the page for a tag called <body>. It will be on the left hand side and directly below the </head> tag. This is the place that the main body of the website starts. 4) Look for some text (sentence) that is near the picture you want to save. In this case: Still water trout fishing Fishing for trout in lakes requires different tactics. A canoe, pontoon boat or a float tube allows an angler to cover a lot more water than waders. Trout may congregate in cooler water near an inflowing stream or an underwater spring and may be lured to bite on a streamer fly. Or we could look for the caption: A rainbow trout taken on an articulated leech pattern, Bristol Bay Region, Alaska. Here is what the code looks like on the page: <p><a name="Still_water_trout_fishing" id="Still_water_trout_fishing"></a></p> <h4><span class="editsection">[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Fly_fishing&action=edit§ion=8" title="Edit section: Still water trout fishing">edit</a>]</span> <span class="mw-headline">Still water trout fishing</span></h4> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:322px;"><a href="/wiki/Image:AlaskaTrout.jpg" class="image" title="A rainbow trout taken on an articulated leech pattern, Bristol Bay Region, Alaska."><img alt="A rainbow trout taken on an articulated leech pattern, Bristol Bay Region, Alaska." src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/AlaskaTrout.jpg" width="320" height="240" border="0" class="thumbimage" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption">A rainbow trout taken on an articulated leech pattern, Bristol Bay Region, Alaska.</div> Almost all pictures on the internet are gif or jpg format. So we will look for a file with a name that ends in .gif or .jpg In this case we want this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4...AlaskaTrout.jpg 5) Copy the address (either click and drag with the mouse and copy, or write it down). 6) Open up a new browser page and put the code you copied in the address bar and hit enter. 7) You should now be looking at an unprotected picture that you can save. OPTION #2 You can also use the Prt Scr button on your keyboard (normally just above the insert key). 1) Find the picture you want to save. 2) Make sure your mouse pointer is not on the picture. 3) Press the Prt Scr key. 4) For Windows XP go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint This will open up a program called Paint. 5) Hold down the control key and press V (or go to the Edit option and choose Paste). 6) You will now see a picture of the screen that you wanted the photo from. 7) Use the Paint program to now get just the photo you want. Here's how. 8) Mouse over the icons on the left (one will say Select) and choose the rectangular dotted line one. 9) Now go to the photo and left click and hold on the upper left corner of the picture. Drag the mouse to the bottom right corner of the picture and release the mouse button. You should not have your photo selected. 10) Hold down the control key and press X. 11) Hold down the control key and press N. 12) Choose No. 13) Hold down the control key and press V. 14) Now you have just the photo and you can go to File and choose Save As to save the photo where you like.

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks proudcdn, I would have never figured that out by myself ( I still don't know if I can ) I understand that whatever is on a particular site is the property of that sites owner, but... I still don't understand how a certain pattern can be considered "theirs" if it was invented long before their site was ever in existance. To me, the picture that I am interested in is only their version, and if anything, it should be a compliment to the tyer because people considers it a worthy example or reference photo. I am a very stubborn man, and if someone dosn't want me to save a picture of their fly, then I won't, because the internet is almost limitless and I am sure that I can find a picture that is just as good, if not better, to go by, and they can keep their photos and their selfishness. Sorry, I didn't mean to get an attitude or anything, I just don't understand people sometimes. There is some of the most giving and helpful people that I have ever seen on this site, but yet, on some other sites you would assume that the site owner was there in 1890? and that was their personal recipe, not to be copied by anyone. I am not one to tease a baby with candy, and I would not post pictures with the attitude of "look what I have, BUT you can't have it" Sorry again for getting this off my chest Thanks, and Take Care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 When I started this topic over a month ago, I was truely curious as to why. I have been told the reasons, and I fully understand them. When I find a photo that I like and its locked or blocked or whatever you call it, I don't try to save it because I now know that you have your reasons for doing so. Under no circumstances do I appreciate being called a thief!!!!!!!!!! To be a thief, or a criminal for that matter, you have to actually commit the offense, and I didn't. I figured that I might ruffle some feathers or step on some toes when that I originally opened this subject, but I had no intentions of upsetting anyone or trying to create enemies on a site that I really enjoy. If, in any way, I have caused ill feeling towards anyone, then I apologize. But, I will repeat myself in saying, I AM NOT A THIEF Take Care, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
day5 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 I did not say that you were. I think I misstated myself. If something is protected it is such for a reason. If you go around the protection with out permission that is stealing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proudcdn 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 Actually ... Nobody is "stealing" anything until they use it for financial gain or to represent it as theirs. You can photocopy and entire book and that is not copyright infringement. It is only a problem when you sell the pages, or try to pass them off as your own. This is the same with images. If you are truly worried about someone stealing the images on your website then watermark them. This is the only true way to ensure that they are not being used in a manner that you do not want. Besides, if someone wants to steal them believe me they will find a way. Google is magic. Sean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxEngr 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 PC - I don't know what the laws in Canada are, but in the U.S. you cannot copy an entire book, movie, song, or any other copyrighted material except for a very few specific exceptions such as educational purposes or for the purposes of a review. Any other use is a violation of the copyright law and subject to prosecution if pursued by the copyright holder. This is done to protect the artistic and financial rights of the copyright holder. Copying a book, song, video, etc. (without permission) deprives that person of any financial gain they might have gotten from the sale of that item. That's what copyright is all about. I have a number of videos that I freely share with the world on YouTube but they are still copyrighted so that I maintain my rights to those videos and, if someone were to improperly use them for any reason, I have the ability to invoke my copyright privileges. It's not always about money but about something I have created with my time and sweat and want to control how it is used. That's why you see some images blocked from access - that person wants to maintain control over how that image is used. Now I'll get off my stump......
