Just thought I would let you guys know that ur 'Context Menu Copy Protection' seems to be broken.

It works on the first right-click, but subsequent right-clicks show the context menu.

    This was actually done on purpose. Always blocking the right click creates other problems on the when users want to do legitimate things like copying text or copying a link location. Plus, I upgraded the strength of our right click protection so much, that we don't even call it right click protection. It is simply "image protection" now. We just keep the right click warning up there to remind users that they can't copy the photos if they tried.

    That's a bit of a bold statement

    I guess I should have said "if they tried to copy via right click"

    But, as you know, we will never be able to stop a determined user from copying a photo. No fancy scripts can prevent the print screen button from being pushed.
