So everyone agrees that you can't protect your website content and doesn't matter what you do. I can't say that I entirely agree with that statement but I would venture to guess that a website in this communities hands falls in the that category (un-protectable) having said that i'd guess that this community doesn't represent the majority of the people on the internet... none-the-less security aside, I'm curious as to this pisses off users part.. why would a normal user (remember normal = the standard) get pissed off visiting a site that has this installed?
As mentioned before if you click your middle button (to scroll) it would be annoying - wonder how many people do this instead of just scrolling with the wheel, anyway other then that I don't see why it would annoy a visitor. When I visit a site I don't right click unless I want to open a link in a new window - I'm not in the habit of right clicking every image or in random spots on the page. So chances are I wouldn't even know this was installed. Maybe there are a bunch of rogue right clickers that travel the internet but I'm not really sure (if they did exists) then I bet this would piss them off.
To analogize this to a car alarm is dumb. This is the equivalent to stopping car thieves by making a car with an unusually shaped and hard-to-use key slot - changing the way a standardized action is done by making it harder to do. It inconveniences people who are trying to use the car legitimately, and it doesn't stop car thieves at all, because they didn't use the key to begin with - just as people actually trying to steal your images generally won't just right-click, they'll just look at the source code. Even young children know how to do that.
