One thing that you could do that won't neccessarily make it go away, but it would reduce bandwidth is change the exact page that they are loading to something else.
So if your site is index.html, make the index.html as small as possible with an ENTER button to a renamed page with your site on it.
Then you can keep changing the target page real easy and each time, they would have to change all their OBJECT tags and hopefully get sick of doing it.

As far as detecting if it's a surfer or a pulled OBJECT tag, there might be a way to query the CGI.HTTP type shit.
If you run a HTTP-REFER, you could tell where the surfers are coming from, and you could match it against a list of offending sites.

I don't really know that much... just kinda "typing outloud".
