Good idea, but won't work! What needs to be done, is we need to know how they are accessing the sites, then find ways to block that.
Did the pirates hack your server, or did they just figure out the path to your data directory with the original images?

If it is only the latter you can block access to that directory with a simple .htaccess file in the folder
Code:
deny from all
Or you can move the data folder outside of the webserver's document root.
