Thanks for the tip! I am getting out ranked by a scraper site badly recently in Google and hopefully this puts a stop to it.

The flaw with that image hotlinking htaccess entry is that if you run a blog, users who use Google reader or other RSS readers won't be able to see images.

Using a script to track bandwidth theft is a much better solution, because then you can tell who is actually stealing your bandwidth without interrupting users who are innocently using RSS readers to view the pictures.
