Actually, every photo on the Internet can be copied.

You know, you are absolutely right.  With that viewer it's impossible to capture images like, say, this one:

Oh, wait!  I just did.  Nevermind.

Yeah, this won't stop anything but the people who run on slow systems or connection speeds from viewing your work

What are you worried about someone stealing your web sized photo? Who posts
Hi-res images, anyway?
Nice touch up work in your port, by the way.

Anything that appears on your computer screen can be copied, even if its just taking a screenshot. There is no way to prevent it.

NO matter what you do, photos can still be copied.

All you need to do is hit ALT+PrintScreen on any "protected" page and then (after opening a blank canvas), Edit > Paste in Photoshop or Paint (or whatever you use).

The BEST ways to deter thieves from using your stuff without permission are:

* don't upload huge, high quality images to the web!
* watermarks, watermarks, watermarks

With the two of those combined, someone will find it very difficult to use your image for print purposes without your permission, especially if you keep web images down to less than 500 pixels on the widest side, and only at 72 dpi.

Watermarks give you free publicity if someone downloads your photo and posts it somewhere else, as well.

Scripts really don't do ANYTHING, as not all browsers or operating systems will even pay attention to them.

true... so that is why i like the sismple viewer.. with picasa software find the folder and it makes the gallery script for you. and they load in flash.. so for none hacky person.. they will go on to the next site..
and i alay drop a blank default.html file in all gallery folders.
so u can go to www.myphotos.com/gallery/uglywomen and copy the raw files..haha

Flash can easily be gotten around with the screen capture thing I mentioned above... but I would say at least 30% of people online don't know how to do it.  That's always changing though...
