>> When you see an image - you have downloaded it already. There's no way to do what you are trying to. This is not true. If you "wrap" an image in a java applet then the only way to save it to your system would be (as someone else mentioned) to take a screenshot of it. Not knowing anything about Java, if there's a way to know if your applet has focus or not, you should be able to concievably devise an applet that scrambles the picture when it loses focus and somehow traps the print-screen key when it has focus. Perhaps this would counter the print-screen problem too. (But, like I said in a previous post, why do this when you can sue them afterwards!)
