There really isn't any way to prevent that. Even if you used tricks like preventing right-click, all a person needs to do is find the copy of the image in their browser cache, or simply take a screen shot of the image as it's displayed in the browser and crop to size. Some vendors put a "watermark" on the image, like their site name (or some other identifying text) in nearly-transparent letters across the image to make it less desirable for stealing.

I use an easy method to stop people from stealing my images. I made a little card which I laminated and I put it in each photo like this....
