If you organize your domain, like I do, you can eliminate a lot of these problems and still allow limited hotlinking, such as for pic posts, tgps that require thumbs, etc.

I always have one folder for ALL my images, be they banners, content or whatever. In there I place one .htaccess file that disallows linking from anywhere BUT that particular domain. Problem solved.

In my domains root I use another .htaccess to block site suckers and other undesirables.

I have my own server, tho, so this may or may not be an acceptable solution for those on virtual hosting.
