Good idea, but won't work! What needs to be done, is we need to know how they are accessing the sites, then find ways to block that.

Because you're fighting the wrong people.
You will never win against true PIRATES. You will never win against torrents and file sharing.
You can however, win against the average Joe who shares your galleries with everyone else. Joe usually doesn't know how to crop images and the few who do, either won't bother or don't care. You can cut tubes and board sharing
way down. But fighting professional pirates is a losing battle.
Don't stop fighting, keep chipping away at the stone. Even a 20% reduction is HUGE.
