That's right you read the title right, check out this amazing product.

 Here's a quote I copied from the site:

What was even more surprising to me was the fact that I couldn't protect my copy! 

People pay literally thousands of dollars to have a professional create a profitable sales page - 

yet anyone can highlight and copy text.

I've literally spent years searching for a better way to protect my website images and copy. What I found, were products that only did half of the job I wanted them to or, were a pain to install.

 He spent years doing research in to this? Now that's what I call worse than failure.
 

Gah!! Are there any brains left on this planet??

(Yes: they are all here)

News flash for ya: If your image is on a public web server, then your picture is public property. End of story. 

MU,HAHAHA

 Im going to copy that page, the whole thing, and put it up on a free hosting account somewhere and them email him the URL... Im going to change that popup as well so that when you right click it explains to him that once a client has viewed a page all of the content is on their PC, and theres nothing he can do... its how the internet works...

Worst thing is that someone actually bought it :/

Anybody up for http://www.rightclickrevenue.com/right-click-revenue-pro.js decoding contest? ;) It's pretty much obfuscated - for example:

O00O='fu';OO0O='TNnGOqMGtOhhflOT';O00O+='nction __'+'__(_'+'O0)

*disables javascript* *Blatantly "steals" (read: copy) his text*

Ehh, am I missing something here? Hell, even if he manages to block rightclick it still ends up in a temp folder somewhere.

No, it's still protected by whatever copyright applies to it and it's still infringement to copy it without permission. There is currently no technical way to prevent people from simply saving it and using it as they see fit, but that neither makes it legal nor makes the picture public property.

Just because you are able to do something doesn't mean you're allowed to do it; that's what laws are all about.

 

But.. but... nothing happens differently on his site for me than anywhere else. I right click and get the standard options for Copy, Select all, copy image location etc.

Oh, I wonder what would happen if I were to turn "NoScript" off?

Am I going to try?

What, let untrusted and obfuscated JavaScript run on my machine? No chance!!

Looks like pure ASCII obfuscation, nothing smart going on at all - mostly just URL escaping, eval, and inane variable names.

DaBookshah:

Don't get me wrong this is funny, but at the same time I find it sort of sad someone is making money by selling worthless products to gulible people. Would be funny to vote the site onto slashdot or somethying, maybe the resulting DOS attack would wipe the site out. If only.

Did you take look at the Websites using RCR?? They look quite cheap, two of them use even the same footer and so on...
 

*Lol....*

*Interesting...*

*No way ctrl-a is going to work.*

...

*What's his email? I found a bug.*

I like that with so many existing Javascript Modal Boxes that have novel ideas like: being able to move the Modal Box and having the cursor change to a hand to imply clickability over the close link this man's attempt at technology that already exists is worse than failure.

He should take a 101 course on how the intertubes work and then try again at life.

Someone with Firebug should download all his images, zip them up and email them to him to show him how well his "solution" works.

LOL. No need for Firebug. After the first right-click, subsequent right-clicks work as one wants.
I copied the whole text and also the image of his signature down the bottom of the page. Then mailed it to him at his archerworks.com domain (cheers, godaddy!).

PsychoCoder:

Is this guy really that ignorant?

Probably was, but thanks to the sterling work of us WTFers he'll be a little bit more clued in now.

Oh boy, this one has made my day. Thanks folks!

All a person has to do is disable JavaScript and voila there it is. THis is really quite humorous, not mention sad that people are actually paying for this crap.

I just used view source -- no disabling javascript or add-ons even necessary. Then you can open the image directly:

My guess is that the author knows all of this, but is hoping to sell his product to joe non-tech-guy schmoe with a small business website who doesn't know any better.  Just your typical slimy snake-oil salesman.  A better idea would be to send his customers a copy of all of their pictures to help show them how well this product really works.

I think there's a high probability of this. All the sites he lists as using his product are his own sites. Probably pulled all those testimonials out of his own arse.

The worse is the testimonials pointing to websites. Those site are made only to sell the right click secure product. One of them is interresting. It *protects* such images:

An other one is simply not using the tool :D 

Except a banner that appear behind the popupmenu et selection forbidding, it does not work much :) (and of course, disable javascript ....)

The problem with right click is when you have a really good reason to have your custom menu on some item (like a javascript tree item where various actions are possible) and browser does not disable default context menu :D
