Yes my htaccess is now preventing hotlinking.

I contacted Yahoo, who said they'd deal with the group but could not tell me the outcome of what happened..Nothing appears to have happened!

The group has a LOT of pictures and I'm confident that they DONT own the lisences or have permission to post them. With it being such a large group, I expected it to be quite well known, perhaps ran by one of the gay webmasters?

C&D? wow...I'd have little idea how to go about that! I have a lawyer available but never really thought I'd need to use his services much.

Thankyou for the feedback.
