Protecting your artwork

Planet PHP is a very good thing. Actually – the planet concept is really good collecting loads of blogs on a specific subject in one place. Reading planet-php this morning Ken Coar had written something about protecting artwork. The most intresting in his post was actually his reference to a very good article he’s written previously on the subject. In the article he describes a very simple technique where he uses apache configuration directives to stop requests for graphics without a referer header.

It is a really good idea. Read his article here. As he writes himself, it does not stop the really determined thief. But on the other hand if it is truly important that information is not copied it shouldn’t be on the web.

PHP, Web
