Hotlink protection driving me crazy

[Echil0n]

There's a site ( http://profiles.example.com/5420716 ) which is linking the image http://quux-foo.nu/laptop.jpg from my site. I've been fiddling with .htaccess for hours trying to make apache block hotlinking from example.com and my-space. My config is below, please post any suggestions as o why this won't work.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^stuff.apple.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.quux-foo.nu$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://quux-foo.nu/$1 [NC,R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?my-space\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^.nolink\.jpg$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^ContemplatingExistence_1900\.jpg$ nolink.jpg [L]
# RewriteRule ^laptop\.jpg$ nolink.jpg
RewriteRule ^.*\.(swf¦bmp¦gif¦jpg¦jpe¦jepg¦png¦jpeg¦avi¦wmv¦mpg¦mpeg¦wav¦mp3)$ http://quux-foo.nu/nolink.jpg [NC,R,L]

1) Escape literal periods in patterns
2) Do not end-anchor hostnames, or if you feel you must, then append "(:[0-9]+)?$" to accommodate valid port numbers.
3) Use regex to avoid redundant patterns, e.g. "jp[eg]" replaces "jpe¦jpg"
4) Use 301 to canonicalize domain, 302 for replacement image.
5) Replace all broken pipe "¦" characters above with solid pipe characters before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.
6)Completely flush your browser cache before testing new code, or after successfully loading images using any "allowed" referrers.

Sorry for not obfuscating the domains, and thanks a lot, it's working now =)
