i can still get your code and images all day long, there is no way around it these days even with the anti-right click script. if someone wants em, they'll get em. on my mac it's as simple as clicking and dragging the image to my desktop. and for others u can just go to the View>View Source and get all the code and images u want. just thought i'd let u know
