Quite right... anytime i find a site that disables right click... i usually
exit... forthwith.
By disabling right click you, as a website, are interfering with my right to
view the internet/site as i wish and as i find convenient. If you don't
respect my right, i'm not interested in your site.

Hi Julie & all,
I totally agree. I knew how easy it is to copy a picture. I disabled the
right-click anyway only for education. Now my visitors get a copyright
notice, learn what it means and most of them write to ask permission. These
people are now aware that there are copyrights in Internet, too.
I had a strong argument, however, with a colleague on another list because
everything in the right-click menu is lost. He felt as if I had hacked his
mouse and I was treating him as a potential thief.
