A sinister little side note:

Just last night I wrote a script that fakes HTTP Request headers to get around anti-leaching scripts.

I have a framed interface. The top frame has a form which has (among other goodies) a textbox for the item to pull (or steal), and a textbox for the referer to fake. Clicking submit causes some javascript to redirect the bottom from to a PHP script I have on my server. The PHP script then creates some fake HTTP Request headers, downloads the specified source, then rebuilds it's own headers, and finally sends the content to the bottom frame. I've tested it on HTML documents and images.

not sure about the htaccess, but you could just do an if statement

if ($HTTP_REFERER == "the page you want to come from"){
//load page
} else {
//redirect
}
