If people are just hotlinking your images without the live link then yes I would turn them off. Correct, most of the time people keep the link though, at least from my experience.

Few hotlinked images are OK, but at times people tend to take advantage. Overall Hotlinking is not acceptable, technically it is ‘Bandwidth stealing’ coupled with ‘content stealing'. And hotlinking is no good way of free advt… if that was the case, then Google adsene would have already opened new section for hotlinkers, joking… Hey Mike… your are bang ON!

However if another site links directly to a photo on my site and claims it as their own and/or uses it in some sort of fashion to drive readership/revenue with no permission from me.. Lets just say their readership is gonna get a nasty surprise. Don't forget you can change your links easily and insert some other rather nasty photo in place of the one they are hotlinking to. :) In most cases it wouldn’t bother me.
