it only helps if you've got an audience that are *all* using browsers that
support this bit of position trickery.  however, if you have *any* users
using browsers that don't support it you're giving them a false sense of
alarm because every picture they look at has this "stolen from ... " message
at the bottom.  some of those users may not be so quick to connect the name
on the photos with the site they're visiting.

it just looks like it's more hassle than it's worth.

just my 2¢,
