It may be that YOU are "clueless". I don't think that YOU understand.
It would be interesting to see, in a court of law, whether "right clicking" a page constitutes proper credit of a source. And, I doubt that "right clicking" relieves you from compensating the creator of the work for monies due for usage of the work.
Your blithe, uncredited usage of someone's work is the very heart of the SOPA issue.
YOU might want to do a little research on this issue before you mouth off!
