The hotlinker can use js or i*f*rames and just send an empty HTTP_REFERER when hotlinking to your media file.

Here is a link to my demo pages that demonstrate how .htaccess can be bypassed ( when it allows emtpy HTTP_REFERER ) : http://hotlinker.trafficguardian.com/
Your software looks promising, I dont know if my host already has it!?
