Not to be too obvious or anything, but blocking right clicks doesn't really stop anyone from looking at the page source and getting all the url information. The only particularly secure way of protecting files from being download without pay is to use a database with the Status_URL and only allow downloads from the download script after the e-gold system has posted to status_url and that information has been validated. Of course protecting the download itself can only go so far. People can of course still download it once and post the file for everyone and their brother. There isn't really a way around that particular issue, unfortunately.
