Each time I see a site with right-click blocked I put that site on my black list. Really is one of the most annoying thing ever made on the internet. Surpassed only when you block right-click AND bind the right-click with a popup that says "sorry you can't right-click on our site for yyyyy purposes".

Indeed. Plus many of those sites inadvertently break the middle mouse button which I use for scrolling, and several laptop/touchpad dedicated scroll buttons.

It just feels childish to me. Everyone knows that you cannot protect an image by binding to the right mouse button event, but yet they continue to do it anyway. It is trivial to bypass and just annoys legitimate "customers."

That's understandable from the HN crowd. BUT a wedding photographer doesn't care about your black list (no offense).

In his/her mind (right or wrong), a bride-to-be has no reason to right click. The only people who might-right click would be nefarious people who want to steal an image and put it on their portfolio as their own work (this does happen).
