contact tables/ making a clear image to disable pic stealing, image slicing or image mapping to create links?? Options

[rubicon]

1. i have learned to image map but it seems as though others dont use this method when they create their myspace layouts....when i read other people's code i see none of the html that is created when i map my contact table

2. i came across the script that places a clear gif over your image in the form of a div so people have to be much craftier to steal your pics, however the link to get the clear gif is broken so i would like to know how to create my own clear gif
