I am thinking of using a htaccess, but if that is the case I am more worried about using one, that simply getting more server bandwidth and let my watermarks do my advertising for me.
I don't want to make it a hassle for visitors that are support to be able to see the images, but if possible I want to block people that are stealing my bandwidth from post my images on their site or posting the data directory url so users can bypass my banners.
Can somebody help find out what the best solution for me?

Users of Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm, or anything else that blocks headers will be treated as an imposter by your htaccess/apache. BUT only if they have it setup to block headers. By default, they do, and most users don't even know it!
It may be a better idea to protect your whole photopost directory with htaccess, and have it redirect them to a page with simple instructions on how to setup their privacy software "properly".
