Four points:

1. The original question was about making line art look good on the web,
so not printing well on a laser printer could hardly be called a
limitation.

2. On a high quality laser printer (1200 dpi), these same techniques can
produce stunning results.

3. Different output devices require different techniques. I'd do things
differently for a 300 dpi printer, and still differently for a photo
imager... the list goes on and on. You have to keep the goal in mind
throughout the project and choose your tools accordingly.

4. You can watermark the images to help prevent theft. Of course, crafty
thieves abound, and nobody is completely safe.
