Disabling right click and turning off the tool bar are not effective. Personally, on my site I have script that does turn off the tool bar but neither one of those will stop people from stealing images. It may stop people from using images as wallpaper. It will also keep people from using the right click to make images show up that perhaps don't fully download. It will affect those who use right click to navigate and open links in new windows, etc. But it will not stop theft.

To hold this site responsible is ridiculous. The change proposed is not a solution.

Plaster the word copyright all over the image, watch for theft and report it. Have an admin contact sites that use Renderosity images. I agree with watching out for theft but not agreeing with the proposed solution does not indicate anything suggested.

And for what it's worth, I missed the vote completely while on vacation.
