DMCA Alternative Regarding Image Theft From A Website
After competitors have been stealing images from my website that take a lot of time to design I am forced to contact them.
To my knowledge, it can damage SEO and can be a loss on sales.
In the U.S they have system in place known as DMCA where you use their services for free or paid and add a badge to your website and if anyone steals images, they can enforce a Takedown by contacting those stealing and using the images and they don't comply, DMCA have the power to have their websites shut down.
I am tired of having images stolen so is there anything EKM can do?
Right clicking on the main image and saving them cannot be done but there is nothing to stop someone right clicking on the additional images below the main one and choosing Open Link in New Window.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dauwalders of SalisburyImage watermarking is a brilliant and relatively cheap alternative to protecting images from theft you could even edit the exif data for each image adding extra copyright information, thus making the image even more protected.
Plenty of tools and apps available to accomplish this, plugins are also available for most photo software.
Alternative injecting some script code to the website to block right mouse click will stop image theft but can be very annoying for customers.
