I need to protect images from saving, printing, copying,
screen-capturing, print-screen, etc. I did a lot of research on the
Internet, and I am aware of the much-liked answer "such thing is
impossible". But I am absolutely sure that I already saw this kind of
protection: by capturing the screen or printing or saving the web
page, all you could see is a pattern saying "security protected", or
something of that kind. I also think it was trough an active-x
feature. I am also aware that having an active-x will limit the
correct viewing to IE. Artistscope's solution is not what I want,
since it blocks all other windows applications. Logically, it is
almost unnecessary to remark that I am NOT interested in "disable
right-click" javascript's, nor in the encoding of the html source. I
just want to have graphical content displayed in a way no one can:
- Save it (by "save web page" or "save pciture as")
- Retrieve it in IE Temp folder
- Print it (to file or to paper)
- Print Screen it
- Capture it with regular software

Of course that at last instance, the user can always take a picture
from the screen with it's digital camera. But that should be the only
way, except very special programs wich require advanced computer
knowledge.

Thank you in advance

One way to accomplish this is to use a graphic type that will usually
display as a DirectX-powered overlay instead of being handled by the
OS. Most graphic adapters these days have some level of
hardware-acceleration, where video overlays 'float' above the actual
screen image maintained by the OS. An MP2 graphic file, for example,
would normally display on an overlay, and cannot easily be captured.
