That's not what I was getting at.

If somebody asks "how can I steal something protected this way" and gets
instructions, he will learn whether or not the protection scheme he had
in mind is dumb or not. I suppose the more straightforward way would be
to ask "is protecting my stuff this way reasonable?", but that may
elicit responses from a different set of people, or a different mindset.

for example jpg files can be easily copied (right click, save target
as). So somebody had the brilliant idea of wrapping the picture in a
flash presentation (koff, gag). I asked why such an abomination, he
said he was tired of people stealing his stuff.

So I did a print-screen and sent him his own picture back. He was
astonished - he never thought of that.

Sure, the OP might be a troll. But sometimes asking the question
backwards will get you closer to what you want.
