Mikey, good idea, I'll think about that...
In the mean time: I got an e-mail from one of the leechers:

Hi, I saw the post on your forums and I tried to register to post this, but then I noticed you'd emailed my host.
If you have any problems with your site being fuskered, you should have emailed me straight away. If you want me to remove any links just point them out to me and I'll remove them from the database, I can't control what galleries people fusker, it's a completely open system and I'm sorry if it's caused you any problems. If you want to completely block your site from being fuskered, simply put
{Limit GET}
order allow,deny
deny from 66.197.141.53
allow from all
{/Limit}
Into a htaccess, that'll just deny access from the stoppablegolem fusker. There are 2 other fuskers you might want to block too.
http://fusker.lewww.com = 66.98.180.43 http://www.babehunt.org/fusker = 66.37.19.215
In fact, I'm going to post these instructions to the main page later.
Hope that helps.

This is the reply I sent him:

Problem is that people have to opt-out of your system. What you're doing is illegal, in effect, you're replacing webmaster's adds with your own, stealing these people's bandwidth. Webmasters in this whole industry will not like that I'm afraid...
In fact, how would you feel if we would drive up your bandwidth by loading your site as an image. Don't worry, you can mail each and every one of us asking to get taken off this img src, or you can add a piece of code on your site to blick every one individually... Does that sound fair? Opt-out is not an option for this. What you're doing is illegal and unethical business wise...
