Default Hot linking and how to stop it.

Have identified a site which is hotlinking to files on my site and passing it off as their own.

What rule(s) do I need in htaccess to redirect that specific site to an "info" page/pic?

Is the following sufficient?

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?myspace\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
