-----Intro-------------------------------------------------------------- You just spent your hour and a half of computer time on paint. Editing, erasing, perfecting. Your beautiful masterpiece contains a unique comic about a noob and telamon over dinner with some soup issues, and you happily upload your ad. A little later, while browsing the forums, you see your ad, and joyfully click it. But instead of leading to your amazing obby, it leads to some noob's bUY MeHH!!1!! T-shirt. You have been another victim of the copy and paste catastrophe.
------Idea--------------------------------------------------------------- 1.To automaticly turn ads into .gifs by taking the static image and adding a small image in the corner, like a waving guest or firing rocket. That way, if noobs try to copy the ad, it will be saved in .gif form and can't be uploaded. I know they could convert it to a static image, but it would be extra work for the noob.
2. To check uploaded ads against a database of all uploaded ads and if there was, say, 85% resemblence or higher it would not upload unless that user was the original submitter. This may take up a large amount of storage space, but it could only use about a month's worth of archives.
------Tl;Dr----------------------------------------------------------------- Turn ads into .gifs, or compile ads into a small database of archived ads

...PrintScreen.
Or, for the Windows 7 users, the snipping tool.
With those methods still available, how would this actually prevent copying? |

| I've used photoshop a bit and there is this very simple way of adding a copyright watermark this provides a copyright simple on this picture which allows anyone copying the add to be caught right away because its near to imposible to remove. |

Like above, they would use PrintScreen or something. Anyways, to stop ALL ad copying, they should put a .gif FILTER over it, so it is only view-able through the computer-screen, can not be copied, and can't be copied through Snipping Tool or PrintScreen.
All hail the Power of DX! |
