Prevent hotlinking with htaccess doesn't work

Hey guys.
A bunch of sites hotlink my media, so I wanted to prevent it with some htaccess code.
I use wordpress, so there is a bunch of other stuff in the file. I only post the stuff I added:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?website1\.com(/.*)*$ [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?website2\.com(/.*)*$ [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?website3\.com(/.*)*$ [NC,OR]

RewriteRule \.(jpeg|JPEG|jpe|JPE|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|mng|MNG)$ - [F]

Somehow this does not work, as the media is still present on the external sites. What's wrong with my code?

dunno about the code but since you're on wp you can use the WP Security plugin to block hotlinking pretty easily

hope that helps

more of a !not instead of do. i dont think you want to update your htaccess every time a new asshole starts hotlinking. if the ref is NOT your site, redirect.
