What does this help? - It only fool`s the site owner with  a security feeling 
that 
does not exist. And  the visitors are restriced in their  ability/comfort 
of using the web.
 There are still lot ot people not using MS-IE. And there are lot of 
possiblities left to get your picture in a file. 

I think everyone who put`s pictures into the web should know what he
is doing with his pictures. 
In my opinion the best protection for your images is the resolution. 
When you scale the picture`s for web usage (download!, screen size),
 then the quality is too limited for other usage. And a copyright notice 
sould be enough.
