Don't do this to yourself, your going to wind up with a headache.

There are several methods you could use to discourage a casual thief, but 
these all suffer from usability and implementation problems. More 
importantly regardless of the measures the consensus is that there isn't 
anything you can do to stop a truly determined thief.

The bottom line is if my browser can render it I can own it.

Your best bet is to vigorously enforce copyright when/if you encounter a 
problem.
