Scul,

Just to be repetitious, if you don't want it stolen, don't put it on the
net. The scripts may make it more difficult, but the don't make it
impossible.

If I want a photo from the net, first I read the copyright statement. If it
is 'ok' to copy, but I can't right click, then I can either simply flip
into the html source, find the url for the photo, and load it directly,
bypassing the web page and any scripts in it. Alternatively, I can just do
a screen grab, load the resultant image into a graphic editor and crop out
the parts I don't want.

But if you insist on writing scripts, better include a script for konqueror
while you are at it, Galleon might also be an idea. I am sure there are a
few more browsers out there that may need their own custom scripts built
for them.

Long and the short of it is, to stop me from 'stealing' your photos, tell me
not to. None of the scripts you write, will stop me - only your request
not to will.
