Is there any way to copy images from the sites that block it? For example, some sites dont allow right clicking on its images, whereas some show a pop-up message saying "its not allowed!" when i try to copy it.

Is there anyway i can do this?

There are lot of ways to do this. Here are some, which works well in IE 7 & 8

1. Go to File -> Save As. Give some [file name]. Save type as *.htm *.html. then save; you will get all the images in page to a folder called [file name]_files
2. Left click and hold on the image, and then drag and drop to the quick tab. It will load the image. Now you will be able to right click and save.
3. Go to View -> Source. Search for the generic image extensions like .jpg, .gif etc in source and find the correct url for the image, and then give that in the address bar.
4. javascript:alert(document.onmousedown='');alert(document.body.oncontextmenu=''); copy this code, paste it in address bar, and press enter; it will show two blank message boxes, after that you may be able to right click and save.
5. Press "Print Screen" key, paste the screen shot to some image editing application (paint, photoshop etc), crop it and save.

Hope you won't break any copyright laws.
