I think it's more common that webmasters are concerned about people saving 
the images on their web site. Again, there's no way you can prevent that. 
Even if there were a perfect way to disable the saving of images from a 
browser or the direct retrieval of the image in contexts other than 
browsing a web site, you can always grab the image using any of dozens of 
screen capture programs.

A related issue is the direct linking to of images on your site from some 
other site. It's a simple matter of .htaccess coding to restrict access to 
your images to clients with an HTTP_REFERER value indicating your site (if 
HTTP_REFERER is provided by the client).

Cheers! Hans
