I am in agreement with Jim Adams, why can't Photo.net make it a little harder to take our copyrighted images? Disable the right click?

I have decided to stop posting any fine art nudes here and am seriously considering pulling out after seeing how far this has gone. I have been with photo.net for 9 years and am at a point where I have to decide if this kind of exposure really is worth it. When my name is googled, all sorts of profanity and filth is associated with stolen images. <br />
