Uhm... I tend to find this funny. You know, saving a picture that you found on the internet for personal viewing is absolutely legal in the whole EU. I have no idea how it is in America, but it is perfectly legal over here. But I guess, some of our copyright-overconscious-people here at Renderosity just started to call everything theft that doesn't fit into their own view of how laws should work. I am currently trying to get my fingers on a book about US-copyright, but I guess it is perfectly legal in the USA, too. As for your "anti-right-click"-measures: They are pathetic. If I wish to save the picture, it is no problem at all. If I just wish to view a picture, they are a nuisance. If I wish to scan the gallery, they are a veritable pain i.t.a. I also have to admit something: I have a almost complete gallery of hobbit saved to my disk. I do nothing with those pictures but look at them and wonder, how anyone can be so damn good with Poser. If this is illegal, I really wish to see the paragraph that this is based upon.
