Need .htaccess help

[DirtyProfits]

What is the correct code to block a site from embedding and hotlinking your movies? I just found out that the .htaccess code I was using somehow doesn't work.

If you wanted to greedily keep your files for yourself, you should have voted Ron Paul.

Damn thing timed out. Oh well. Here.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|wmv|mpg)$ - [F,NC]

[DirtyProfits]

Hm that's exactly what I use, only difference that I only have [F] and not [F,NC]. What does NC mean? Thanks by the way.

[GrouchyAdmin]

NC is "No Case", meaning it works for upper, and lowercase. If you named your files '.JPG' with yours, as you describe it, they would not be protected.

.htaccess can not be used to block movies since there is no referer.
Google it.

That generally affects Windows Media Player; and for that, I suggest a passthru script, or using a prerolled protection mechanism that requires a login before you access, such as StrongBox.

However, he hasn't expliticly stated what/where his content was being stolen.

Content hotlinked from movie galleries. I am using a hotlink protection on my other server but on the new one I did not. Well problem solved thus far, blocked the IP of the site. By the way, why did I see the url of the hotlinking sit in my affiliate program ref stats but not on Google Analytics? I mean if my .htaccess did not work with movies how did they get redirected to the sponsor?

Wow, I skimmed a post that didn't earn me any money.

How's your ratio for getting new clients from the states, by the way?

From the United States? What do you exactly mean, signups?

My reply was to DirectFiesta, actually.

He made some rather purile anti-American sentiment threads on nearly a daily basis in the past, so for awhile, I'd follow his posts begging for people to use him as a virtualhost with his prior statements cut-and-pasted where prospective clients could see it.
