Hello,

In addition to what Paul Lynch has already told you, here's some sample code
for an ISAPI filter preventing this:

You need the ability to install an ISAPI filter on the server. Usually, web
hosts do not allow this, but i do not know about yours.

I suggest that you talk with your webhost, and tell them that you have
problem with hotlinking. Since it is your webhosts' bandwidth that is
used/abused, they might be helpful to solve this problem.

Rename some of your images (updating your HTML), replace the originals with
anal-sex porn.

They'll stop after a few iterations of this...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
