I know your pain.

With .htaccess, someone can't link directly to the .wmv and bypass your page. That's why we get your little replacement image when we click a direct link to http://www.lottoporn.net/big-tit-pat...07/Movie10.wmv But since referral info isn't being sent by the embedded player, .htaccess can't stop the .wmv from being pulled onto someone else's page. It's definaltely wise to have .wmv on your anti-hotlink rule so surfers won't post direct-to-movie links on their forums and such. If they want to share your movies with their free loading pals, they'll have to put a link to your gallery. Most surfer forums, I'd imagine, won't enable HTML so that a surfer could embed a movie file within a post. Of course, there are many other cocksuckers out there to worry about.

I'm going to pull your links out of my little test page now.
