Mostly I had issues with folks hotlinking some of my higher resolution images in their own site/blog/forum posts and claiming it was their work. I set up the rewrite rules after noticing a big spike in bandwidth utilization and seeing a bunch of requests in the logs. Referrer took me back to the offending pieces.
It was suggested to use some sort of shock image instead, now that would be antisocial!
