Which are nice convenience methods for IE users, but blocking them does
nothing to prevent people right clicking and hitting save, or looking at
the source to find out the URL of the image, digging it directly out of
their cache, saving the entire page including images, dragging the image
to their desktop, etc, etc, etc

The key word is "usually". There isn't anything to do that type of thing
in CSS.
