To answer this someone needs to have carried out extensive research on who actually steals images from the Internet. I don’t know where this persona came from that people taking images are non-technical, but it doesn’t sound like it was researched at all.
well, there is nothing I can do, it seems, against tech savvy, but I thought it is rare. Am I being naive? 🙁
Sticking with text… thanks! 🙂

You could watermark your images to begin with, provide thumbnails of the images and then for the larger work you can watermark them.

That’s pretty much it. Every other technique is based on a misunderstanding of how the Internet works.
Just to reinforce this, there is an option in all browsers that lets you save the Webpage. Saving the page will nicely bundle up all of the images on the page in a folder. Try it on your website. This option in the browser is not hidden away, it is not a hack, it is there in plain sight for non-technical people.
