Leosghost - Im not sure your got my point here, I DONT like hotlinking, but I also dont like those who has a site and really just sit and wait for people to hotlink to take legal action if possible, those people are also out there.

I will say this im a fan of DMCA, I think its great that sites who has a lot of images, have a chance to remove a image if a artist wants it and problem salved, but if I had a image site with images which I REALLY dont want to see on other sites, I would make a htaccess with the planning of site and a login for members to see images that way you are sure, many also use there images to promote there Company/art so they have a little logo in the Corner thats also great advertising.

Now this is a whole other topic as google image which have done a great job.
