Wellllll, actually, you were wrong. Don't get too upset about it. They have to protect their copy write or it isn't any good.

The right mouse thing is used by ticky tacky web designers who think they can keep people from copying images from their site. Any half decent programmer knows how to get around that. We view those web designers as... bush league.
