This is the short version. Other conditions exist in the first section. I 
didn't want to overwhelm with excessive paste when only one line is needed 
for the question.

The code fundamentally works perfectly. Both of these work independently 
just fine. I just want to be sure when combining them together into one 
.htaccess, that I'm not going to cause the server to blow a gasket. :)

##############################
# Turn RewriteEngine ON
RewriteEngine on

# Protect site against webscrapers
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^contrpl [NC,OR]
...other conditions exist here...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^wget [NC]
RewriteRule ^.* - [forbidden]

# Protect against off-site graphic linking
RewriteRule (.*/illegal-link.gif) $1 [last]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^($|(http://)?[^/]*(foo|bar)) [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png) http://www.blah.com/illegal-link.gif [R]
##############################

Disclaimer: Yes. I know there is no real, tried-n-true, completely 
reliable, always-going-to-work way to protect against 
web-harvesting/scraping, nor image/bandwidth theft. But I do want to do 
whatever I can. If this post results in another thread showing other ways 
to do same, that's fine too. hehe But I've been using the above two 
configurations separately on different webs with successful some time. All 
I want to do now is combine the two together. :)

Thanks!

It seems fine to me.  If the first set of rules match, then the second set
will likely have no effect, but that seems fine in this case.
