I'm also of the camp that if you don't want people to reuse an image,
then don't make it available on the web. Regardless of what you do
someone will circumvent it.

Never-the-less, here's another technique for inhibiting downloads: use
Photoshop or similer to slice it up and then reassemble it in an HTML
table for the viewer. It's an old pre-CSS technique for web design,
but works equally well to "protect" images. ... until the viewer opens
up SnagIt and takes a screenshot.
