It seem safer not to design a feature for the purpose of discouraging copying at all than to try to assert that the feature designed for that purpose isn't meant to be "effective" in the legal sense.

Note that the browser behavior that e.g. Flickr uses to "protect" images was never *designed* for the *purpose* of deterring copies.
