You need to stop people hotlinking your images. You can use htaccess to do this. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=65466 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/search.php?searchid=12886265
If you can edit your .htaccess file, it's easy to block other sites from displaying your images. Read all about it here: http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/bandwidththeft.shtml
A good thing to do is make hotlinked image request redirect to an image advertising your site, you might get some free visitors that way too
Yes. You can even display different "no hotlinking" images depending on the domain. I was having trouble with eBay sellers hotlinking my images, so I put up a special image just for them
I use a nice HTML encryption software that allows me to easily and successfully encrypt my pages. Using this software you can protect your pages and their content, i.e. images, links, source file, etc. Visitors cannot right click and download your images and they cannot click on "View" "Source" and view the source to your pages - and by doing so have access to your html page source so they can steal your info.
