Spaceballs?

Question

have you ever tried to save a pic from the internet and when u tried to open it the only picture u c is of a dot?

most of those files are saved under the word spaceball, how do i get that service or make my photos a 'spaceball' to secure my pix???

Answer 1

Well, most of those files that are saved under spaceball are from the web site flicker, so if you have an account with flikr then you would be able to do the spaceball thing.  I have only ever seen photos with that spaceball thing on flckr before.  When I went to flickr I found how you can make your image copyrighted if you are a member of flickr.  I got this off of the flickr help page so I will leave the link as well but you will have to scroll down until you find the questions that I have pasted below.  Hope I helped.

How can I copyright my photos?

In most parts of the world, including the U.S., Canada, EU countries, and Japan, you are automatically granted copyrights to your photos.

However, the nonprofit Creative Commons offers six default licenses as an alternative to full copyright so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

Remember that you can only copyright images that you own. This means you can't copyright images that you've taken from somewhere else! Additionally, just because an image does not have a Creative Commons license attached to it, doesn't mean that it is public domain.

You can select a default license for your photos here.

To add a license for a specific picture, click the "Change" link next to your current photo license (usually set to "All rights reserved") near the bottom of your photo page. On the Privacy and Permissions settings page, click the "Add a license to your photo" link on the right side of the page, near the bottom. On the next page, select one of the Creative Commons licenses.

How can I stop people from downloading my photos?

You can set a global preference that controls who can download all the versions of your photos. Just select a setting — from "Only Me" to "Anyone." This setting applies to all your photos and is combined with your privacy settings.

Say you publish a photo of ice cream. If you're sharing that photo with only friends, they are the only people who can see it. Even if you set it so "Anyone" can download the photo, your friends are still the only people who can see it and thus download it.

If you applied a Creative Commons license to your photos, they can be downloaded by anyone. If you don't want others to download your photos, remove the Creative Commons license here.
