Are people stealing your bandwidth by hotlinking you Vids?

come to think of it, if you deny all viewers without a referrer, nobody will see the vids embedded in your site, unless your player somehow gives a referrer (mine dont). So don't just willy-nilly deny people without referrers!! You will be denying all your legit viewers.

I just thought I'd add that, my solution to hotlinkers isnt related to referrers anyway.
