I agree

Even if you set a mouseover image over the image to stop "theright one" it 
being loaded
via <mouseover>right click><save as>

OR set the image as a table background

OR set the image to be a composite in a table of 2 or 4 images

OR embed the image in the background

They will still be able to source your images from the HTML :)

You can even do a SCREEN DUMP from a viewing of a FLASH file of your images 
(.SWF files can be back
engineered AFAIK to extract frames)

Make the watermark so conspicuous as to make any saving a waste of time OR 
make the
image so low res it is useless
