enigmawmn, I understand your point of view - what does it take to just implement the damn thing! If you can get around it, fine you are sick enough to do that. Atleast some will find it a deterant.

Sometimes I do agree with your thinking too. At the same time I need to point out that disabling right click does cause inconvenience to lot of "power" users. I for one use mouse gestures a lot (Opera and Firefox supports them) to navigate back and forth between galleries and images and find it inconvenient when I can't perform a right click for this. I just leave the sites that use them, then and there.

I think that this is the crucial issue regarding someone manipulating
client software/hardware functions by Javascript or similar means:

My reaction is the same. I use right button mouse menu to navigate
and I leave sites disabling it at once. If someone would like to "disable"
something, than please do it with a specific function but not with the
mouse per se.

Personally I believe that implementing of such measures is futile, as
everybody can capture the screen, crop and get a (8bit per color) image.

Pbase was primarily about sharing, presenting, and not about hiding,
obscuring and selling. An album is called Gallery and an user is called Artist.

Among the hundreds of millions of images posted to the web, only a
fraction has a commercial value. Their mass is also a form of a protection!
What value has an image out of hundreds of millions available in most
cases? And how to find and identify an improper/illegal use?

Anyway, we have a long list of genuine bugs pending to be fixed. Both
Slug and Emily are not responding for long time already. I would prefer
to get these problems fixed prior to fighting windmills.
