Image Guard
Since the widespread introduction of the World Wide Web in early 1993, one of the most common, ongoing problems has been the blatant theft and re-use of copyrighted material, such as images.
Additionally, and far worse, it was and continues to be a common practice for “Bandwidth Thieves” to Hot Link to images directly rather than host them on their own servers. With Hot Linking, they reference the source of the image they want to display, loading it from your server into their web page.
Obviously this consumes your bandwidth and not theirs, which is why it's still popular today, despite the relatively low cost of bandwidth. One area where there has been a marked increase in this tactic is from bloggers.
Whether your images are copyrighted by yourself, i.e.; you designed them or had them designed, or owned by a third party, there are numerous ways you can stop this practice and protect your images from would be thieves.
Image Guard was designed specifically with the intent of allowing webmaster to protect their images and prevent Hot Linking at the same time. Since it's first release earlier this year, we've added a bunch of new features and functionality that you'll find helpful for a variety of purposes related to images on your web pages.

How Image Guard Works For You
Image Guard is a very small, but powerful script that allows you to protect any or all of your images published online. You will NEVER be plagued again with people “Borrowing” or linking (“Hot Linking”) to your legally copyright images that you’re displaying on any web page.
Image Guard will automatically watermark images on the fly with either a graphic image like a logo (you supply) or using a text string (you can use any True Type Font you want for this).
Image Guard will allow you to resize your images on the fly, to make thumbnails or larger, distorted versions that are useless to thieves.
Image Guard will allow you to automatically rotate images on the fly – rotating an image by even 2 or 3 degrees with a watermark makes it utterly useless to the average image thief!
Image Guard allows you to automatically grayscale images to provide a monochrome version instead of a color original.
Image Guard allows you to serve up alternate images to would be thieves who attempt to Hot Link to your protected images!
Automatically. In Real Time. On The Fly. Your original images are never modified in any way – everything is done through the script using the GD Library bundled with PHP.
