Stops visitors from right-clicking or dragging images to save them, a simple deterrent for photographers and artists.
Opens WPIDE on

(function () {
function isImage(target) {
return target && target.tagName === 'IMG';
}
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', function (event) {
if (isImage(event.target)) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
document.addEventListener('dragstart', function (event) {
if (isImage(event.target)) {
event.preventDefault();
}

This only discourages casual copying; images can still be saved through browser tools or screenshots.
