There actually is a way to disable right-click on websites, though I've only seen it successfully used once or twice. Of course, until everyone uses the exact same browser on the exact same platform you can't guarantee that the code will work properly for everyone...
It is something though, and I was able to find a link to the source code.
It is extremely frustrating to see this happen as often as it does in art communities across the web... I remember back in 1999 many artists and web designers closed their sites for 24 hours in honor of "Gray Day", in order to show people what the web would be like without the contributions of artists. I really hope it never has to come to that, but I agree that something needs to be done to protect people's creations.
