Covered images also do not work with Gecko browsers do a 'Page Info' and
on the media tab both the covering transparent image AND the 'protected'
image listed and download-able! No extensions need and most importantly
no real protection! All the mentioned 'protections' stops folks from
using a mouse to capture images. Other ways to get images are from your
cache and one that even IE can do, "Save Page As" with "Webpage complete"

As an artist I can advise that all you can do is either do not publish
or keep you image small (view resolution only) and use copyright notices....
