i am thinking of buying those scripts from them... are they worth of 200$ ? you think .htaccess should be enough ?

bump

.htaccess doesn't protect movies. So if you do free sites with movies it's a good idea to purchase that script.

If your only dealing with pictures then I see no use for that script

Same opinion here !

Are a lot of people stealing your bandwidth? If so its probably worth it:Graucho

i have my own code for doing movies in .htaccess where it checks for local refer

this is what i have in my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
Options -Indexes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.gayfreeclips.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://gayfreeclips.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(mpg|MPG|Mpeg|mpeg|MPEG|rm|RM)$ http://www.gayfreeclips.com [R,L]

when cookies are enabled its working half-good

i.e. surfers can download the hotlinked movie but they cant view it in media player

any suggestions ? i dont wanna pay 200$ if this can be solved with .htaccess code :winkwink:

:thumbsup

It rocks, been using it on two servers for a long time, made that money back just in bandwith bills, the redirected hotlinkers pay the script over and over again every month, like clockwork :thumbsup

To my knowledge the script is the only real way to protect movies.

You can write a program to dynamicly change the name of the movies or the directories, but if your doing something like building galleries that will cause problems with TGP scripts.

The javascript to insert cookies methond isn't the best way either.

Lots of people claim that you don't need the $200 script to protect movies but I find it funny that they never have a answer or show any real alternative to the script.

Not sure, but isprime offer some kinda PHP cookie thing
