Hi Johannes,
Yes, the tips here are good but as they say saving the page or using any
site ripper will let people take your images.
The only foolproof way is use a watermark in Photoshop but again this
depends on the situation and how visible you want the protection.

I found a quick tutorial for you on this, hope it helps. You can also
digitally protect the image using the DIGIMARC filter but this is not
visible to the viewer, it will however allow you to claim ownership of
the image in cases of dispute.
------------------------------------------------------
A watermark is used to protect your image copyright in case somebody
steals your work and claims the rights to it. You can protect any of
your graphic work by embedding a watermark in it. To create photoshop
watermark, first opne the image you would like to use. Now, go to
Filter>Digimarc>Embed Watermark. Now simply put the year in the blank
field and press OK. You now have a watermark embedded into your graphic.
If you want to read the watermark go to Filter>Digimarc>Read Watermark
to see the embedded watermark information. Embedding watermarks in your
artwork is a good way to protect your work in case somebody claims the
rights for it.
