html - how to hide my source code so to not be copied

Question

I was recently informed by someone that my website was copied. When I looked at the linked that he gave me I so that the site was identic to mine except for the logo and text. Is there a way to hide my code? Or to make it impossible to right click on my page? I saw on some websites that if you go to http://example.com/images/ it will show access denied, not a list with all your images...How do they do it? Thank you!

You can do stuff which amounts to security through obscurity, but the only way to prevent your client-side web source from being copyable is to not push it down the wire, to not deliver it in the first place, shut down your website.
