<<... "right click not permitted" >>
Sorry if someone has mentioned this already but this can be end run by hitting the "control" key and the "prt scr" (Print Screen) key. This saves that screen image in the system memory, which can then be opened in an image editing program and cropped to size (I use Adobe Photoshop Elements or the full Photoshop.)
So maybe the only options are using a watermark or not posting images to the Internet at all....?

One of my other interests is photography, and I use a sharing site called betterphoto.com. You cannot download from this ite. If you try to right click on an image to copy, you get a message saying "right click not permitted" so the technology exists. I am not sure how many other sites have this feature.

Thanks everyone for helping out with my question about safeguarding picture in my wooljersey album. To make up for the abuse (ahum) of CR list bandwidth, I have added a bonus here, for your viewing pleasure.
As the Giro heads into the mountains this weekend, the famous 1988 Gavia stage came to mind. For Americans the Gavia stage will always be connected with Andy Hampsten, for us Dutchmen, the names are Johan van der Velde and Erik Breukink. Van der Velde, wearing the purple points jersey, was the first to get to the top, but stopped there due to the cold. He was wearing only a 'summer' outfit: he had thrown away all excess 'rubbish' as he calls it, he only wanted to attack and win the stage. Breukink passed Hampsten in the descent, to win the stage; Hampsten took the pink jersey and won the Giro that year. Here is the TV footage as it was broadcasted at the time:

After the finish we can all see how much the riders are suffering; the pink jersey wearer is Franco Chioccioli, Van der Velde passed him in the climb.
In 2003 Dutch television showed a reenactment of the famous stage, with a much older Van der Velde and Breukink, riding the Gavia again. The 20 minute movie (made by Wilfried de Jong and moviemaker/camaraman Rob Hodselmans) was shot in November 2002, to make sure there was snow on the mountain. They got what they wished for.

Click on the link in the upper right hand corner, where it says 'Pijn van de kou'. Thats the title of the movie: Pain from the cold.
