Right click protection can be "outnumbered"

Lille Ulven

My gallery: lilleulven.com/Photos/Travel/Europe/Denmark/i-BMvDqdb/XL has right-click protection enabled. But for someone linking to the photo using instead the link via the smugmug main site: https://photos.smugmug.com/Photos/Travel/Europe/Denmark/i-BMvDqdb/4/7aa9c6a8/XL/Hirtshals_city_Denmark_North_Denmark_Region_Hirtshals_LilleUlven.com_20150918_144140-XL.jpg

will instead easily be able to download the photo via exactly right-click - in all sizes that I have allowed to show in my gallery. Shouldn't links via photos.smugmug.com also obey the right click protection the owner of the photos chooses on his gallery? (And yes, I know you could download it from the browser cache as well, but at least that needs some more criminal energy than just right clicking and saving...)

Thanks

Since the direct URL to the photo is just the browser downloading and displaying that image, we have no way to inject any code to add the right-click message. It's one reason why we relabeled things to "right-click message" and we also have other features for protecting your images, like watermarking, max display size, etc.

Thanks @leftquark - that means I have to use a less easy to remove watermark, since I found a website using at least one of my photos claiming it would be good for wallpapers linking to it via the direct URL: vivowallpaper.com/wallpaper/hirtshals-77527
Too sad ...
