Two answers  "[Smile]"

You can always for further proof send you a burned psd copy of it through the mail and never open it until problems arise  "[Razz]" , thats what one of our teachers told us to do if we were paranoiac (sp? ~.~)

Second:

You can protect your image folder directory in the .htaccess so no one can view them if there's no .html (or whatever extension you use) is present as an index file. Thus you can only see it in web pages, not by themself.

And, about hotlinking there's a couple scripts that detect if your page is being hotlinked, and if it is redirects them to a page of your will...That will then redirect them to the right page. on YOUR site  "[Smile]"

Interested? I'll find links of those if anyone wants it.

Meh.
I've started looking up on hotscripts and i cant seem to find anything that can do that anymore. I was sure i installed something like that on an old server ...

But..here's an .htaccess that prevents hotlinking and redirects them to a page of your choosing....If you put a search engine thing on the redirect page it should do something similar....(and its much more better than having the infamous X around where your image and content should be!)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !
*so your server can access your files*
^http://yourdomain.com .*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !
*same thing different writing of the domain name*
^http://www.yourdomain.com .*$ [NC]
*Files type to block* *redirect URL*
RewriteRule .*\.(jpeg|jpg|gif|)$ http://www.yourdomain.com [R,NC]

or something similiar to that...Not sure kinda late for me right now  "[Smile]"

I use this to replace anything they are trying to hotlink to, with a small image (bandwidth.gif)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?uglypeople.co.uk/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(exe|zip|ppt|doc|pps)$ http://www.uglypeople.co.uk/bandwidth.gif [R,L]

You can see above, it protects exe, zip, ppt, doc and pps files, you could add more if you wanted.

Can you specify a list of servers that are allowed to link to your files? I currently (but maybe not for much longer) use an Ezboard for my forum, and would like to allow it to use certain pictures from my website.

The address for my forum is http://pub69.ezboard.com/blunarorbit

I guess if I just list pub69.ezboard.com it will let all forums on the pub69 server hotlink to my pictures, right?

Also, can I specify one or two pictures that anyone can link to, such as a small banner ad for my site?

I have a lot of medium sized pictures on my website, so it's definately a good idea to limit who can link to them. I don't really care if people take them to put on their own servers though because most of my pictures are public domain (NASA photos etc.).

Just to add my 2 bytes:

The right click does nothing more than annoy!

After all.. view source tells your the location of the file, and you can go directly to it, instead of even having to do the print screen trick... or you could just turn of javascript all together effectively doign the same thing!

You might want to consider doing the original in a VERY high resolution and then making a slighter lower res version available so that you  can prove that your version is the original. People can stil l copy over the copyrights on the images if they try hard enough! But they can't.. get the same high quality original unless they take it directly from your source!
