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!)
