>you can't save a picture on a website because the right-click menu is for an invisible element over it designed to stop you from copying the picture >you can't link to a picture because the server redirects to the picture's webpage
What the fuck is it with those cheap web programming tricks being so popular and used on all major websites nowadays? Why do businesses suddenly feel entitled to keep content from spreading over the web?
It wouldn't be so bad if it was the proprietary content of the websites I'm talking about, but this meme is all over social medias, gaming network, even fucking image sharing websites. That's people's content. They should be free to copy and link to it as much as they want.
Web browsers should be designed to allow users to save or copy the link to a picture regardless of what else the page's code has to say about it. People who don't want to play by the Internet's rules shouldn't be on the Internet in the first place.

1. There's a question of principle behind it. 2. If the picture is scaled down, you will get the scaled down picture. 3. If the picture has JPEG artifacts, you're going to get an original picture with JPEG artifacts + the compression added when you save it + the JPEG artifacts the website you publish it to adds if they convert it to JPEG.

>>you can't save a picture on a website because the right-click menu is for an invisible element over it designed to stop you from copying the picture That is easily circumvented. >>you can't link to a picture because the server redirects to the picture's webpage It is perfectly reasonable to not want people using your bandwidth. Host if yourself or reupload it to a hoster that allows it.
Hunter Myers
Or just save it as a PNG

>It is perfectly reasonable to not want people using your bandwidth. Host if yourself or reupload it to a hoster that allows it. This doesn't make sense. You've already used their bandwidth or it wouldn't be able to display in your browser.
>hurrr what is developers tools >what is view page source
Ryan Richardson
OP was talking about hotlinking to the file on some other site so other people will download it, without going to the site itself.
In which case I suggested hosting it himself.

>This doesn't make sense. You've already used their bandwidth or it wouldn't be able to display in your browser. If you display and share an image with a direct link, everyone who sees it still uses their bandwidth without actually seeing their site.
Luis Evans
Stop giving me workarounds to this. I know the fucking workarounds. My point is they shouldn't be doing this in the first place, sperglords.
James Cooper
its there website they should do whatever they fucking want.
Cameron Baker
holy shit do you really use print screen to save an image?
just open up the browers's dev tools and select the image to get the .jpg link

the dude who gave you a solution doesn't have assburgers, I think you do for making this thread OP.
bandwidth costs money and some websites don't you want you leeching it. hard concept huh?
they also want you to visit their page directly so they can get ad revenue. they don't make any money from a remote client accessing their .jpg directly

Top kek or you could inspect the element.

Paranoid small business owners hate allowing people to save their images. I've had multiple clients demand that I prevent visitors from grabbing their pictures. It's fucking stupid because it doesn't actually prevent anyone from downloading the image really and in many ways it actually makes it harder for normalfags to browse the site.
Wyatt Torres
>>you can't save a picture on a website because the right-click menu is for an invisible element over it designed to stop you from copying the picture Just block the element covering the image with ublock.
Ryan Cox
>inspect source >delete element blocking image >right click >save image
Brayden Perez
Why do they want to prevent people from saving their images anyway?

Aiden Baker
Saving ain't linking.
Jack Lopez
I get wanting to save bandwith, user here is talking about small businesses not wanting their images copied by visitors. The post you linked to doesn't explain that. If you don't have an answer to my actual question, fuck off.
Jack Torres
That's hotlinking, a completely different issue.

They don't want competitors to steal their images and use them for their own sites, which is understandable (they sell trading card singles from Magic/Pokemon/etc.) However the solution to that is just a little watermark. Also most companies release official images anyways so there is little incentive for people to steal images from small time companies. They are just seeing complications where there aren't any.
Jonathan Sullivan
That's how nigger tier memes filled with JPEG artifacts happen.
Brandon Evans
>can't copy or paste >can't right click Is there any extension that prevents this bullshit?
Jonathan Foster
You always can save a pic using "page info" - "media".
Although this "right click" situation is indeed retarded.
Landon Gutierrez
I don't know about that, user. I think those memes get passed around though a million meme aggregator sites who don't give a shit and compress them.
Julian Robinson
Nah. Every fucking normie takes a screenshot or even a picture of the screen instead of saving the maymay. It's obvious because they're often poorly cropped.

Any time this has happened to me, I can hold shift while right-clicking to force the context menu, then there's either an option to save the image, or I use Inspect Element to get the link.
Ryder Powell
>bandwidth costs money and some websites don't you want you leeching it. hard concept huh? This isn't a point because the image is already downloaded, and I'm sure their 5000 codes of shitty JS + dependancies to block the thing in the first place costs more to download and run than downloading the image twice, anyway.
