How do you punish people who hotlink?

It depends on my mood. What I have done is auto watermark the pictures with a text of my site's URL or a huge text of my site's URL all across the picture or sometimes completely replace the picture with an explanation that the owner is stealing my bandwidth and asking the users to visit my site to see the whole picture.
Keep in mind that Bandwidth is cheaper these days than it was years ago and unless they are heavily hotlinking all your pics and draining your wallet, you can use that as an opportunity to promote your site.

Any of them have active comments section?
It would be so fun to read users reactions on interracial pr0n in the middle of an article.

this is a new niche in itself - interracial gay pr0n - since there seems to be heavy blogging about it ;-)

after u change the image to gay porn, you should report them to their host and get their account suspended
You're so evil.
Even better, report them to big G if they are using Adsense.

why not do some cookie stuffing with it? at least that way you might make a few dollars of them
I approve of this message
Though you can't change the URL at all, so getting a cookie stuffed into a link that is an image/jpeg or something requires a bit of hackery. Or maybe that's just the fact that I don't really have a deep knowledge of CS.
