Why disabling right click is pointless

So you just created a masterpiece  and want to share it with the world on your Website.  Super . So you upload it and then realize that someone can take this image off of your site . What do you do ???

"Hmmm , maybe if there was a way to disable saving images from my page , I would be alright?" That sounds like a good idea, but it's really just a waste of time.

After countless hour of searching Google you finally come across the coding to disable the right click on your page . Sweet Baby Jesus , You Did It !!! You have won the battle in protecting your writing art whatever it is you are trying to not have people copy from your site. And then….. silence looms in… Have you thought of the ramifications of disabling the right click for your page ? There are alot of useful features there ( it is quicker and easier to access than your menu bar). Disabling the right click will not stop someone from getting what it is they want. The average person surfing the net has enough know how of how search engines work to figure out on there own how to get what it is that they want from your page. It may deter some , but not all. Stealing that image you worked so hard on is as easy as going to your file menu , and clicking on view source. That's it . It is also unprofesional : Think about it for a second . Would you want to buy something from a site that constantly reminds you that it is under copyright ? Solutions ?

• Disable right click on the image only ( not the page )
• Watermark your images
• Digitally Watermark your image

Still not convinced and want to put the code into your site anyway ? ( sheesh) Here it is .
