create yourself a watermark and put that on every image, as well as the URL at the bottom.
you can also use services from DIGIMARC, this secretly will embed a digital code into the image, (using a photoshop plug-in which is already installed) you can then signup for one of their services which crawls the web, much like a search engine and will find pictures with their digital signature attached. and create a report for you to use.
if you find that someone has taken your image and used it against your Site Policy you can send them a letter to cease and desist or you will take legal action.
but in all reality if you are taking lots of product pictures, and putting a well placed (but not to obtrusive) watermark it will keep most people from stealing them.
