        the best thing to do is the nice thing. you won't get anywhere by fucking with potential customers.

        Use a jpg of a super hot girl and some text that says:

        "We're truly sorry, but we just can't spare the bandwidth to link you right now.
        There's a good chance the file you're looking for is still on our website: www.myst.com thanks."

          If hotlinkers were making you money you wouldn't be posting about this now would you?

                    Direct them straight to a sponsor signup page or tour or redirect them to the homepage of your site and keep the traffic.

                      installing toolbars would be bad?
                      what about per-email sponsors?

                      per-signup will not work, these assholes dont buy shit, they get my movies from forums posting hundreds of these

                              i would use my own stuff and get them to install it

                              the internet aint free.

                                That is a nice approach
