  The general idea here is that you want to prevent people from including your images in their webpages. This is termed "image theft" or "bandwidth theft" simply because they are using your resources for their website. The following rulesets will prevent that from happening, based on the HTTP_REFERER header. There are two main ways that you might wish to deal with this. You can either simply forbid the request, as the first recipe does, or you can redirect that request to some other resource, such as a "please go away" image, or perhaps something even less appealing, as you like.
