As an artist I can tell you the only way is do not publish. If you think
about it the risk was the same when you blushed in a magazine or book,
someone could always make a copy from that source.
We get your question here quite often. Don't look for flash as your
salvation, screenshots are know to almost all but the most "casual" users.
As you are probably already aware your most practical approach is to
have clear copyright statements and limit the size of the images in your
online portfolio relatively low resolution to give folks just a "taste"...
