What it does, is prevent you from easily saving the image. You can't view a

To me, putting in a feature that prevents your customer from downloading the
images on the site
is a hostile thing to do, and it would make me never want to pay to visit

After all, you did PAY to get in there, you should get something for your
money.

J burnal (AKA Cullen) created a web portal that has all of his art on

but somhow the images there are protected from downloading, you
should check out his site (www.sexyfur. <

see how he does it
and just make the images aviable that way.
and now that I have put in my 2 cents worth in Ill shut up and lurk.
