To stop what? Bandwidth theft? Copyright theft?

I think you need to use a .htaccess file.

As mentioned, you need to use .htaccess, with this in it:

Code:

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ 

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

RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.yourdomain.com [R,NC]

Easiest way to create the .htaccess file is the do it in notepad, call it whatever you like, then rename it under a command prompt (or in your FTP client, works just as well) then just upload it to the folder (I think) with the images in.
