if "truly preventing is isn't possible", then isn't "I'll do what i can" a
false statement?

i don't know of any clients i've ever dealt with who'd be satisfied with
that statement or continue to insist on ridiculous things like
no-right-click scripts, goofy plug-ins, or weird positioning trickery after
having the negative effects of these "techniques" described to them.  (god
forbid they come out of the woodwork for me now)

which is exactly the reason it doesn't belong being used.  it least you're
only catching the mouse event on <img> tags and not the whole damn document.
