I'm trying to find out how to block one particuliar site from leeching my images.
I want an alternative image to be displayed instead.
I know I can use the option in cpanel or just block everything except my site.
But I don't want this, does anyone know what the code in the .htaccess file would be to just block and redirect images to one particuliar site,

thanks
Peter

Just put my .htaccess file to good use!! All you have to do is replace my domain with yours. Since Google was so insistant on pirating my bandwidth, I decided to make it sort of an advertising tool by simply sending people to my index page :-) Just use the download link.

That works very well,

I have been using the same sorta thing on www.directbabes.com and im pretty sure that most of the linking stopped.

More information here:http://websiteowner.info/articles/pages/hotlinking.asp

What would the code be to block just one particuliar site and replace the leeched image with an alternative I supplied..

I just want to block this one site, but I post my images on a dif site but they keep getting blocked as well.

For example blocked site is blocked.com
and I wanna let notblocked.com through as well as any other site..

Thanks

I need to bump this again.

I want to replace the image with another image, say if someone posted the image on a message board.

I'm pretty certain it can be done, anyone know how?

try this one:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://aaa.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.aaa.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|swf|SWF)$ http://www.aaa.com/bad.gif [R]
