True. However, IMO the threat of a small number of users who could possibly access the material is far outweighed by the vast majority of users who would be redirected by trying to view hotlinked content.
There are ways to work those re-directed users to your advantage notwithstanding the number of visitors the hotlinking site would lose due to the surfer being redirected or further jerked around.
If the majority of users viewing hotlinked material were to be whisked off to somewhere less pleasant, then I would think it would be to the hotlinker's advantage to pass on that material and find a more unsuspecting target.
