Give it away but code it to redirect hotlinkers to an a fixed page (or load a video advert) which the webmaster can't alter... unless they register for a "licence key" here at GGandJim.
The people who contribute cash for the coding own a share of the default surfer messages... and the board gets the viral marketing effect for webmaster traffic.

This works for me:
http://www.antihotlinking.com/
Installs on Apache in about 5 minutes, doesn't use cookies, no php, doesn't seem to put a big load on the server, although I'll admit that I only push an average of 1.5Mbps with the occasional bursts to around 6Mbps. Run a script to install the software, make a few edits in your apache config, restart apache and you're done. It's a set-and-forget type of deal.
There might be better solutions if you're not limited to following TGP/Linklist rules, but if you're a submitter that needs to protect movies this product is money well spent.
