If pictures are hot linked, you can block them accessing your pictures with .htaccess like below.
RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ [R,NC] It works with my unix box but you always test before you go to production. In movies case, you need a software. I don't remember the software name but you google it or someone here may help you. |

I use htaccess for pics and

Thanks - I'd love to get with other content owners and start a class action - next time I'm in Europe, I'll sit down with my ex-brother-in-law and see what can be done.
