Smartframe Technologies

When looking at some images that were posted on the Historic England Aerial Explorer I came across Smartframe.

As you can see the "protection" only goes so far. The Historic England website uses Smartframe Technologies to protect their images but I managed to make a copy of an image.

How much does Smartframe protection cost?

Curiously the Smartframe website does not make this clear. However, wpmayor.com does. This suggests that there is something else going on with the marketing.

The wpmayor.com website describes a Wordpress Plugin:

Links to images on Historic England Photos

In addition to the ability for the webmaster to embed an image on a webpage there is an option to copy a link to the photo. I have added a few to the external links on this page.

It is not in my interest to use the embedding function as it takes the visitor away from the website. In addtion, once on the Historic England website it is both dificult to find other images and also navigate the Historic England website in genral.
