Pretty easy really. Thinking off the top of my head here, with the first of the weekend's alcohol intake inhand. One method would be to have the image as the background in a single celled table. Table data would then be a transparent gif covering the whole cell. Rightclicking would then result in saving the transparent gif rather than the real image. Give the transparent gif a deceptive name just to lull the unsuspecting copier.

As others have said it's already displayed on your browser, so you MUST be able to get at it somehow. What mankind can devise as protection, mankind can overcome.
