That's probably the best idea.  You can't really prevent the images
from being copied and re-used, but most of the time putting your URL
on them converts the situation to a "free advertising" scenario.

Making an image a little harder to copy usually makes it impossible
to find in an image search, which is often not what you want.  It
also usually makes it harder to use the file names and alt text of
your images as an element of search engine optimization, which might
cost you some traffic you would rather have.
