Disabling right click is considered by many to be quite rude. Some people use right-click for navigation and other legitmate purposes. Taking away standard browser behaviour is not an answer for protecting images online. As others have pointed out, if someone can view your photo on their computer it's too late to stop them from "stealing" it. > As the article points out, however, there are still plenty > of other ways for someone who's determined to copy > your images to get them.

(Windows assumed) Left click and drag the image down to a blank area (normally grey) of your taskbar and hover until the desktop appears then release the button somewhere over the desktop to drop the image. [Note this doesn't work on Pauls site as image links to HTML) 2. Right Click the Image - keep it held in. The popup appears, hit space, popup disappears, release right mouse button, popup appears again, hit space. The right click context menu will appear. I don't encorage image theft, though I do question the worth of stealing 300x450, or other low-res image. I just think that it is important to make people aware how annoying No-Right-Click can be for some users and how amazingly simple it is to circumvent so that people don't get a false sense of security.
