fris, I have all the hotlinking protection up, but new fusker sites appear on a daily basis, and they all suck traffic away. Some of the more inventive sites (not fusker) fuck the headers so that htaccess is less effective.
I shouldn't have to stand next to my server with a gun to keep people from stealing from me, and I would think that the good and honest people (relative term, I know) of this business would take a stand and not accept traffic and financially reward people who's entire business model is based on stealing from people who don't lock the doors tight enough and don't post a security guard.
To me it just seems obvious... maybe I am just missing something.
BTW, my fusker buddies get to enjoy many good views of *******
