Doorknob, JohnB, and johanpw all have good answers, I wanted to add something I've seen in people's html and php: link convolution.

Basically, what they do is they either break up the link to the image or video so that it's hard to piece together from the code (you can still do it but it deters all but the most motivated) or they simply convolute the single link in the source. (Honestly, I just noticed this in the past few weeks an I don't know too much about it, just that it made it hard for me to get images off someone's site ;P but hopefully someone experienced with this will chime in)

If anyone knows more and can give a better explanation I'd be interested to learn more about link convolution as well!
