There is no such thing. Greatestjournal.com tried to limit it, but people will find a way around everything.

The easiest thing for you to do is add your LiveJournal username to all of your icons, pictures and graphics. It makes the person who takes your graphic look really stupid when your username is written on it. Also, if you post personal pictures of yourself/friend/family members, and you have a graphics program like PS or PSP, then try adding a watermark to your pictures. It doesn't take away from the picture, but it does display an almost invisble word or words on the picture.

Honestly, while the aforementioned code will probably disable the menu in Internet Explorer (I only say probably because I didn't test it myself), I don't believe it will work in all browsers. Even if they did, it's not that hard to look at the source code and copy the url. There's an additional problem with livejournal in that you don't have total control of the html - even with a paid account and the ability to make styles.

If you put pictures on the internet that people like, someone is quite likely to copy them. You can make it a little more difficult, but if they can see the picture, their computer already has a copy in the cache.

Sorry, that's just the way it works.

EDIT: Here's a code that disables the Image Toolbar of your pictures: [img src="URL" galleryimg="no"]
Replace the [ and ] with < and >. You just need to enter galleryimg="no" in all of your picture codes and people won't be able to sace or copy your pictures.

The code that Sherry has mentioned will work but here's one that will disable the highlight, right click, and drag on your site, which is even better: [ondragstart="return false" onselectstart="return false" oncontextmenu="return false"] Replace the [ and ] with < and >.

Most codes don't work on Live Journal sometimes so that's why they aren't working for you.
