Hot linking prevention in .htaccess

Hot linking is direct linking to a web site's files (images, video, documents and other resources). An example would be using an <img> tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your own site. Hot linking is very common. Since the images are hosted remotely away from the website someone else can use your website bandwidth and resources. Theft of images may not be so terrifying as other resources. I give you here the solution of problem on site level.

This rewrite rule is being used to prevent hot linking.

RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://portfolio.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|png|PNG|doc|DOC|pdf|PDF|txt|TXT|pl|PL|ico|ICO|css|CSS|js|JS)$ - [F]
