Yep.
It means money.
But if you care about those images is because they mean money right?
I don't care if someone steals an image from my site as I don't put
the ones that give me money online. Which brings us to the article
that Isaac points us to:
"If you don't want people copying your images off your site,
don't put them online to begin with."
Using applets/plugins/similars is out of the question.
Do not use them.

Get yourself a good template before even saying something
like 'yes, sure, we will give you one of those' to the
client. It will give you a good overview one the
workload it means.
