Sounds like either way using these preventative processes, you still limit your users... no matter how small a % it may be. Is that a correct assumption?
I really don't want to show dead or stealing images to anybody that should be seeing the pic just fine. |
You can setup any redirection you like, to any page you like, instead of showing a stolen image. You can add your other domains to the htaccess so that they will be valid referers.
Yes it will limit some of your visitors to some extent, but you may find that preferable to having your bandwidth stolen by other sites linking directly to your files!
Depending on your line of business, people using stupidly high security such as private headers etc, are not good for business, as they more than likely have cookie blockers too which may mean that you are not credited for affiliate sales, advertising revenue, or link exchanges. Further more they are probably also likely to have ad blockers running. So their value to you as a business, may be very limited. So maybe you shouldn't loose too much sleep over them.
