Can anyone could throw an enlightening example of a typical hotlink redirecting mod_rewrite command, how it should look in the .htaccess, and where it should be placed... (top or bottom) - btw, this is a great suggestion, why not redirect the shitheads instead of just blocking them!
What just hit my pervert mind... wouldn't those fother mucking hotlinkers just be able to detect and block such a kinda redirection trick pretty quickly?
