For the htaccess method, it's been enabled however the images are still being leaked out due to the method it's being taken. Because it's not directly linking from within the folder of the server but the feed, I've a feeling this is a loophole in RSS feeds. Well, maybe. But end of the day, I'm just ignoring the whole thing and putting an '+' ego point for myself for being 'famous' I suppose. LOL! Thanks for the advice there, teddy.

This thief is smarter in hiding his/her identity but I've a hunch he/she is fr#comment-3391 Sorry to hear about you falling victim to plagiarism! But you're not the only one out here... there are so many fake blogs around, regardless of whether they are operated by a real person or a malicious bot, that go around replicating contents on the Internet. Their only aim is one - to divert traffic from the original content to their advertisement-laden sites so that they can reap monetary benefits without actually doing much brainwork. The good thing is that, although you can't really stop content replication, you can stop image hotlinking. You don't actually need a plugin to do that - if your site is running on cPanel, there's a hotlinkng protection function that will prevent external access to your images (unless people explicitly type the image url in the browser address bar) through other websites. Of course, you can also do it manually by editing the .htaccess file. But remember to keep a backup copy of that file just in case anything goes wrong ;) My tutorials and posts (even photos!) were copied by a kid (yes, he's only 12 back then) and he conveniently forget to credit me for my work. He even got the guts to photoshop out my photo captions and claim my works as his own. When I emailed him a request for him to remove the contents, he retaliated and even posted fake comments (under the names of my other blog friends) to frustrate me. Obviously I didn't fall for it and he got himself in a hotter soup for imposing as others... Take care! Sorry to hear about you falling victim to plagiarism!
