Quite right... anytime i find a site that disables right click... i usually exit... forthwith.
By disabling right click you, as a website, are interfering with my right to view the internet/site as i wish and as i find convenient. If you don't respect my right, i'm not interested in your site. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Eritja" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 03, 2002 5:08 PM Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Disabling right-click, etc. (was: Webhome page writing software) Hi Julie & all, I totally agree. I knew how easy it is to copy a picture. I disabled the right-click anyway only for education. Now my visitors get a copyright notice, learn what it means and most of them write to ask permission. These people are now aware that there are copyrights in Internet, too. I had a strong argument, however, with a colleague on another list because everything in the right-click menu is lost. He felt as if I had hacked his mouse and I was treating him as a potential thief.
