Avoiding stolen scans....protect your photos from right-click-copying.

All I was endeavoring to do was share the html code to disable right-clicking -- I've been surprised at the varied responses to all this. No, it's not foolproof, but in my humble opinion, it's better than throwing up our hands in defeat, and not trying to deter scammers at all. Thanks for mentioning the mouse pointer/hover/save feature (aka the MS image toolbar). I had forgotten all about that -- but this feature can also be disabled altogether by adding an additional bit of html code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">

Obviously, it's a matter of personal opinion as to whether or not it's worth the time and effort to attempt to protect our images (or whether it should be done at all).
