Re: The danger of linking to images you don't own

btw, the mod_rewrite hack is very simple:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} dcp_0252\.jpg
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*unix-girl\.com.*
RewriteRule (.*) /images/ebayscam.jpg [R,L]

It says that when a request for the file dcp_0252.jpg (Kasia's pretty lake photograph) arrives other than when referred from her own website, it sends a different image: /images/ebayscam.jpg. This means the image works fine in her own gallery, but those who leech the image get something else.

I suppose it could have been more fine-tuned by looking for "match eBay referrer" rather than "anything other than my own referrer", so this breaks any other links that might be out there now.
