    You know I guess an escort service could have a different set of users than the typical p0rn site. I still think anyone who wants an image is going to know how to grab it. Most of their customers probably won't know how, but those people probably wouldn't be looking to download images in the first place. The people who do want them will know how to get them or be highly motivated to find out how.

    Still it's what the client wants and it's really their decision in the end. If it deters some people I guess they'll be happy.

    The point is, I think, your clients are not realising (or not remembering) that stuff downloaded from the web is now in the recipient's computer - it has become a file on their harddrive, just to see it. It is "theirs" so to speak.

    Copying it is not copying from the web to save on their computer - it is copying from one place on their computer and storing in another place on their computer. IOW, by the time the visitor sees the stuff, it is already copied to their computer. After that, it is completely under the control of the visitor.

    Guy's, my clients understand all of that. I have explained it to them. They simply said that they would feel better if that function was disabled to help cut down on just anyone saving an image by right clicking.
    I have told them all of the ways that someone who really wants to can steal an image. We aren't trying to cover every scenario. Just the one.

    Well if "disabling save as" is the biggest concern, one thing you could try is placing a transparent image over the real image, that way when people try to right-click save it, they'll actually be saving the transparent one. Like mentioned before though, this won't stop the techies who know how to find the real image, but it does slow down the progress of the average Joes.
