Best Way to Prevent Image Scraping?

Building a new picture post site (of sorts). Wondering if there are any solid strategies to diminish the effectiveness of image scraper bots?

It seems preventing non-browser agents is a waste of time because bots can mimic any browser they want.

I'd rather not hash all the file paths, as that seems like it would be a huge added burden on the server.

So if we're still allowed to talk about business here... I'm fishing for ideas.
