I agree 100%. If you design web sites, get used to having your code, images,
and yes, even text freely available to anyone who visits. If you can't
handle that, or if your client can't handle that, don't put up a web site.

The ONLY exception to this rule is if you are using your web site to sell
original photographic and art images. In that case, the way to protect your
property is to post low-res, thumbnail-sized images with a big copyright
statement splashed across them. In this way, the only thing that can be
stolen is an unusable sample.

You can add an invisible digital watermark to your copyrighted images, but
as The Head Lemur said in his post, get ready to invest a lot of time
monitoring the web for pirated use of your stuff.
