Referrer blocking images

ciphergothI'm finding that quite a few people are linking directly to images on http://www.ciphergoth.org/ and none of them have asked first. I'm tempted to institute referrer blocking, so that if an image is embedded in a page not my own, an alternate image is displayed: probably one containing a URL which links to a page explaining what I've done and why.
What do people think? Is referrer blocking a Bad Thing? Is there a better way to do it? I'd be happy to make exceptions for pretty much anyone who asks, but I don't like the way people don't ask first.
Update: I'll probably use the instructions from the LiveJournal FAQ instead of that module...
