If you webserver is running Unix/Linux and your webhost allows for .htaccess, you can create a .htaccess file that will prevent hot-linking.

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yoursite.com$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com/.*$      [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yoursite.com$      [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp.*.*jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ http://www.yoursite.com [R,NC]

I would also recommend searching google as there are lots of sites that will detail for you hot to use .htaccess to prevent hot-linking
