David, My experiments show that they have disabled the right-click save image as... And thus my surprise. I'm not sure how they did that in Firefox, but that is what I've seen. Programmatically, I'm sure it is possible, and that's what they've done. Wouldn't it be nice if it showed the message: "Downloads are not permitted for this file. Contact <THEM> to purchase a copy...". Or something like it. This would have saved us all a lot of time wouldn't it! A programmer could have done that in under 5 minutes. I take that back. A good programmer could have done that in under 5 minutes.
