Usually as a result I like to make sure there is no bandwidth theft. I use this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://reeftalk.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://reeftalk.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.reeftalk.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.reeftalk.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(mpg|mpeg|mov|wav|mp3|avi|rm|ram|qt|ra|zip|aiff|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

Please note everything is personal preference. I just choose to show nothing as even showing a stolenimage.gif file while relatively small is bandwidth theft by your choice. Take search engines by choice. Your stolenimage.gif say is 5k and 2 million imagelinks and each of those links get one hit a month that still results 10000000kilobytes of transfer or 9.53674 gigabytes of bandwidth.
