I've hardly ever seen such things in museums, except for nudes, and that's
only because nudes are a euphemism for soft-core pornography.

For every such photo in a museum, there's are thousands and thousands of
similar photos for sale at bargain prices, or simply free for the asking.

Since you cannot read the beholder's mind, how will you know which images he
will steal, and which images he will not steal?

Of course.  But originators with an exaggerated opinion of their work and
draconian methods of protecting it won't have too many people viewing their
masterpieces.
