I have been guilty of doing this but to my defence I didn't even know what I was doing was hotlinking, anyway will apologise to the moderators of FREEONES and have posted this definition of hot linking that is VERY clear for others to understand...
Hotlinking
Hot linking is a term used on the Internet that refers to the practice of displaying an image on a website by linking to the same image on another website, rather than saving a copy of it on the website on which the image will be shown. So, instead of loading picture.jpg on to their own website, a website owner uses a link to the picture as Premium Link Upgrade . When the hotlinking website is loaded, the image is loaded from the other website, which uses its bandwidth, costing the hotlinked website's owners money. For this reason many website owners use .htaccess files to prevent hotlinking. In some cases website owners use the .htaccess file to replace any hotlinked images with an offensive image to deter any other website owners from hotlinking.
Hotlinking can also be used for file types other than images, including documents and videos.
Thanks
