Mac screen shots.

Is there any way to disable screen shots on a Mac? Similar to disabling right click save as.

Thanks,

A user can disable screen shots on their own Mac by unchecking the screen shot shortcuts in the Keyboard and Mouse preferences, last pane. But I don't know if it is possible for a web site to disable screen shots on everyone else's Mac, which is what I think you're asking. Someone else will have to answer that, but my gut feeling is it isn't possible since it is an OS function and not a browser function. Right-clicking images on a web page is a browser function.

And disabling right-click save is merely a bump in the road for those who want to steal images on the web. If you're concerned about theft you might want to consider watermarking your photos.

Changing shortcuts doesn't really disable. You can always use a third-party app to grab screens. The answer is no.
