There's some Java Script that will prevent someone from right clicking on your page, but it's easily disabled.[nbsp][nbsp]There are some programs on the market that claim to be able to place a watermark on images, but I have heard that these to are relativelty easy to break.[nbsp][nbsp]Most of us understand that the web opens up whole new areas.[nbsp][nbsp]If you see a graphic that is yours, the best you can do is to contact the webmaster from that site and request a cease and desist.[nbsp][nbsp]But without resorting to threatening to take them to court there's not much esle , that I am aware of, that you can do????

(Edit) Geezz, now that I posted all of that I realize the question was preventing linking, which is bandwidth theft.[nbsp][nbsp]I am not sure of the method, it involves your server, but baiclly you can prevent doamins outside of yours to access the graphics files.[nbsp][nbsp]It seem to me there was a thread on this in the past month or two.[nbsp][nbsp]Maybe someone can point you in the right direction.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
