I know I'm a year too late, but you forgot to escape your dots.!^http://(www.)?domain.com/ [NC] should be !^http://(www\.)?domain\.com/ [NC]and the RewriteRule should be RewriteRule \.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png)$ - [F]you also might want to go for !^http://(www\.)?domain\.com(/.*)*$ [NC] to allow for a redirection bug in IE6for Google you might want something like: !^http://(www\.|images\.)?google\.com/.*$ [NC]

This works fine if one`s readers are entirely American, or they have set their Google preferences to only use the google.com US site.

It will not work for sites with siginificant international readership whose readers will be using their localised version of Google (google.ca, google.co.in, google.co.uk, google.com.au, for example).

You would have to craft the .htaccess exclusions to include these other localisations or they too will be excluded from hotlinking images.
