Hotlinking Fuckhead even with htaccess

Yes, let's all clamour to download the image from our site that is widely available on several, several other 'tech' websites. Infact, you can purchase a cd with thousands of similar images.

Do you honestly think anyone would bother to hotlink such an image? Or better yet, ANY image our site?

Ramster: I turned that customer off a few hours ago, and told him why. His account is still off, and will be dealt with by 'abuse@' in the morning. As far as I'm concerned, he'll remain off until the material is removed. Accept our apologies, but you have to understand - we have to take these complaints with what we're given. We're not going to turn off a customer just because someone says 'that's my content'. We need to look at all the facts, etc.

Either way, again, his account is disabled - entirely.
