Indeedy, a little bit of .htaccess trickery can inspire a whole afternoon of fun ... thereby allowing you to keep using your images w/o changes to your own pages, but loading totally evil stuff on any image called by a particular referrer... oh the tormet I have unleashed on my own SW's! *giggle*

Those who host on a cPanel server, you should have a feature available to you called "hotlink protection." If you enable this, the bandwidth thief will get those dreaded broken-image red X's on their pages.

No, it's not nearly as fun as evil graphics, but it does protect your bandwidth bill.
