Stop image bandwidth theft

Prevent other websites from stealing your bandwidth by including your images in their pages.

Apache
This example services up a different image instead:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?example\.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*$ RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /media/nohotlinks.png [L]
Lighttpd

$HTTP["referer"] !~ "^(http://example\.com|http://www\.example\.com)" { $HTTP["referer"] != "" { url.access-deny = ( ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif", ".pdf" ) } }

Includes a remote IP option if you have certain IP's you want to be able to get at the images:

$HTTP["referer"] !~ "^(http://example\.com|http://www\.example\.com)" { $HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "^(127\.0\.0\.1)$" { url.access-deny = ( ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif", ".pdf" ) } }
