>inability to right-click+save some how protects their work?
There was a time, not long ago, when photographers (and apparently some courts) thought this would keep people from appropriating work without permission.
In the end, it's a very minor inconvenience that can be easily bypassed. I'm not sure why it would inspire so much ire from anyone.
