  That would bring us inline with places like flickr which doesn`t let you copy a pic from the site.I`m still expecting some wag to use some of mine sometime somewhere.

  I see your point but it doesn't work. The easiest way for those so inclined to copy and want it for screen use is just PrtScn and paste into any imaging software. Crop the photo they want and re-save as a JPEG and your photo is stolen. Those that are determined will always find a way. To demonstrate, I have used the technique to copy one of my own pics.It is now my album cover and the last photo in my album

  Hiya - it is more than possible to disable right-click - but the reality is if people are going to copy, they are going to copy as Suzie says.
  
  If someone wants to use my image and pass it off as them - fill your boots I say - but make no mistake when I find out I'm gonna kick you're f*cking arse!
  
  Flickr stops you copying as they want you to get prints from them etc. - but you can download images form there in other ways they allow.

  Its so easy to lift images from the net, even with downloading and right click disabled, all you need to do is view the page source and copy the image url from the correct image tags.
  
  The easiest way to keep track of your images is by adding keywords in the metadata, a bit like you do for websites, i usually add my name and other relevant wording, doing this enables you to scour the web net for your images by using those keywords, most image thieves dont even loook at the meta keywords, they think changing the image title is enough but its not.
  
  Try http://www.tineye.com/
  it is one that myself and 1000000s of other togs use to keep track of our images, it will soon let you know where your images are as long as they have the keywords you use. Its free too.
  
  There is also www.picsearch.com/
  but i have never used it, tin eye definitely works.
