A lot of Hosting companies simply buy rack servers and then resell the hosting and bandwidth. In your case because you got raped on your binaries (aka hotlinked) he got hit with an excessive bandwidth charge and will probably come back to you to pay it. Eitherway expect your acccount to be terminated!

The solution is to host your binaries (images and movies) on another server that has unlimited bandwidth or that can limit to what countries you will server. You probably don't need to be sending binaries to china or such, probably only USA, Canada, AU, EU, and perhaps the middle east.

Best of luck to you.
