Programs: Lock up your servers against Fusker

raymor · 2005-03-28, 03:12 AM

I've designed what should be a reasonably good solution
for this. It'd secure your images and shouldn't block anyone,
no matter if they have they block the referer or not.
It's a couple of scripts and a bit of creative .htaccess that
I'd need to just code up real quick if there's enough interest.
I'd sell my script installed and tested, sold per domain.
In order that I might know if this would be worth my while
to code up, test, and let people know about, what do you
guys and gals think would be a fair price for it that you'd
be willing to pay?

I read on another board that programs don't necessarily mind fusker grabbing their pictures. Still people are seeing the watermark on these photos, still seeing the URL, maybe they might type in the url and the program would get some type in traffic. That traffic would be all profit as they don't have to pay an affiliate. I guess that's the logic they're using when making the decision not to block fusker.
