Hotlinking Fuckhead even with htaccess

I would contact his host (candid hosting) and point out that he is specifically attempting to circumvent htaccess to link to images that you are specifically denying to outside parties.

It is a borderline hack.

Further, with the new 2257 regulations, these sites are almost certainly illegal, in that they are publishing content without documentation. Hotlinking might finally be a crime worth pursuing.
