hello,
I want to check out this website that everyone's been talking about, but the site (dcfever.com) is in Cantonese?
Does someone has a direct link to the perpetrator website? if so please post it so I can see it.
thank you

Just ignore the box which asks if you want a translation download. You can still get into the site without this.

When I got home last night, I had received an apologetic email from the site advising that fbijohn had been banned from the site and all photographs had been removed. One for the good guys. My lawyers both here and in HK suggested that if we got nowhere, we should report this passing off to the HK police. If this happens again, I may just do that!
Cheers and thanks for your support.

I am not that concerned with security, since there are mot much to be stolen from my collections. I would suggest each individual user take care of his/her own belongings with whatever method that works, but I don't want to see that goes to the point to discourage normal users from using the site for family pictures sharing.
If right-click is disabled, my Mom won't know how to download my picture, although anyone who want to 'steal' is still capable of doing so, as many have pointed out. I strongly disagree with these type of security improvement/annoyances.

Just to rattle you in case you have a false sense of being safe, I was able to save the image at http://photo.tonyleung.com/details.php?image_id=31158 using right-click and save-image. Using Opera 7.20.
