Comment (by thedustry):

 Yes, If I past an image to a URL, or a PDF etc it will download it. I
 believe it should check the content-type header and if it is a known media
 type, ie pdf, png, svg, webp etc it should download it. If it is
 text/html, show a warning that your downloading a html page, not a media
 file and two buttons, download anyway and cancel. I don't understand what
 copy protection you are talking about. If the server returns a file (not a
 webpage), the user can just download said file with the browser. There is
 no way to add copy protection to a png file if it is just served from a
 webserver. The server could serve a webpage that embeds said image, but
 this would just show the html warning.
