It has a wide range of songs available, and you can upload anything they don't already have, then it's on their servers to host and available to link in your post.

IOW...Were they just playing the music over and over? Or were they somehow using your site (bandwidth) for something else?

Now I will when I want to steal one of his songs. :) BlueHost tech support is awesome. Call them, don't email. They're better on the phone. Oh, well, I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough!

I bet he doesn't care/notice because of his massive bandwidth though. Great idea about contacting BlueHost too!! They are my provider as well! @The Justins: I am looking into it, but I didn't have good success with figuring that out years ago. I might need some help!

The url in the viewsource would give them an error. There would be no need to change any of your site code, just adjust the htaccess file which is likely already present.

It's a very common thing that almost everyone uses. You just have to add a few lines to your .htaccess file. Look for “Apache referrer protection” on Google.
