I wrote a Mod Rewrite script for Apache to foil some eBay sellers that
were using images on a web server I administrate. It must of worked
because we got some angry emails from the sellers.

The only problem I ran into was the big boss wanted to protect the
entire server once he saw how successful it was in that one directory.
There is so much traffic that the placing the Mod Rewrite into the mix
crashed the server with 20 minutes of it starting up.

I came across this article recently.  Have not tried it so I don't
recommend it but if your website uses Apache and you have access to the
.htaccess file for your site, you may want to look at it.  It reports to
prevent linking from other sites to your graphic files on your site.
