Today I learned that the HTML element that Flickr puts over images to prevent right-click downloading of them has the CSS class "facade-of-protection". How APPROPRIATE. ;)
@indi right-click prevention is so amusing to me because they have to know that anyone who knows about the element inspector can get around it but they do it anyway
@typhlosion That's the facade. ;)
What's funny is that there are actually more-annoying ways to do it these days (If they'd used a canvas, I would've had to go a level deeper and grab it from the network pane, and I THINK I've seen worse stuff yet) but Flickr is still just doing the standard laughably-simple overlay method.
I really think this is basically just a slight bone thrown to their users, and a refusal to actually invest hours in something that anyone will be able to get around anyway
@typhlosion At least until browsers start implementing that HTTP DRM thing. :| :| :|
