Javascript that disables rightclick is moot for firefox users like me. I hate it when pages disable the richtclick (I use it to navigate with mousegestures) so I told firefox webpages couldn't do that.

On your own page you could overlay a transparant gif over the image itself. Then if they rightclick->save as they only get a blank image. Although that wouldn't stop anyone with a decent browser really. In FF you just need to view the page info and under the media tab there's your image.

Basically anything that can be viewed can be ripped off.

edit: just did a test. Dragged the image from my browser to the desktop, opened it with acdsee and converted it to jpg. Gave me 2 files, one with the copyright, one with the real image. Seeing as you can batchconvert with acdsee it's a piece of cake to rip it.
