Paranoid about plagiarism

I've always been paranoid about posting my images online for fear that they'll be stolen and used without my knowledge and/or permission. As such, the images on my website are teeny (suffering the risk of lost detail in my images) and programmed so that they cannot be saved by a mere right-click of the mouse. A new colleague advised me that at this point in my career, I shouldn't focus on this and that I should be posting at 600px resolution so as not to obscure details and the full effect of my images.

However, Kevin German's recent experience with blatant theft of his images - from a friend of his! - is making me totally paranoid again; it's unbelievable that this happened. Read his story here.
