How to download Flickr protected photos

Nothing on the internet is safe, especially if it’s something protected!


Here I’ll show you how you could easily download photos from Flickr even when this is disabled. Of course this is only for illustrative purpose, downloading images protected by copyright is illegal.

  1. Check out this photo of mine, it’s so cool I want to download it, but as I cannot
  2. Right click on the picture and select Large, or just add /sizes/l/ to the url
  3. Now press CTRL+U (in Chrome & Firefox) to see the page source
  4. CTRL+F to searc for “spaceball”, this is an empty DIV that avoid ud to download the image
  5. Now just click on the link in the img tag below the <div class="spaceball" style="height:761px; width: 1024px;"></div> and voilà!
