Right can be used more often than correct. Correct implies something is absolutely true. Right can be used in matters of opinion.
edit for referencing
Let's consider the math problem 2+2. We can use right and correct as follows: "2+2=4, is it right?" "2+2=4, is it correct?" Both are acceptable. However, let's now introduce a matter of opinion - "George Bush invaded Iraq, is it right?" "George Bush invaded Iraq, is it correct?" In this scenario, right is preferable to correct. The definition for each word supports this claim. Correct is defined as conforming to or agreeing with fact, logic, or known truth." Right is defined as "being in accordance with what is just, good, or proper."
