to follow up:
I found this code online & put it in my .htaccess file. But it doesn't work;
it also blocks some images from my own site!
What am I doing wrong?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?badsite.com.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/images/hotlink.gif [R,L]
Also, is there a way that folks can just get an error rather than a 404 or a
redirect to an alternate image?
thanks!
