Image agregattors gather .jpg from Presta

[2grosiek7]

Hello,

I've noticed a big problem, because I found in my new backlinks, links under gather and copied from my webshops images (PS 1.6, but seems to problem is also in higher versions). How to prevent these types of, in my opinion, malicious, unwanted activity? How looks like your anti-bot rules in robots.txt?

I don't want to prevent gathering images against legitimate search engines. Just malicious.

* place a watermark on a visible surface, such as a pedestal, cabinet, etc.)

* .htaccess

- the third and fourth lines allow domains that can display the image

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?mydomain.com [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?google.com [NC]

RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]

There is also a more advanced variant that will cause another image to appear instead of any image. For example, warning you that you don't want anyone to abuse your pictures. You must place a link to this image on the fifth line with a warning:

RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ https://otherdomain.com/image.jpg [NC,R,L]

To avoid a serious error, this image must be outside of your domain listed on line 3. Therefore, it is not subject to the hotlinking restriction.
