seems like i'm just confusing a lot of uncaring people as usual. pardonnez moi, i thought there were some people here who may have known...
so what's left to do except hijack one's own thread?

Well, sure you can block images from outside referer's - but other than that it can be handy if you run a site that gets a lot of downloads and you want to prevent the majority of people from using download accelerators from getting the content - there are ways around it by masking the referer but not everyone bothers to fuck around with their settings.

A Users Guide to URL Rewriting with the Apache Webserver is a good read with many examples of where you'd use rewrite stuff.. (That link was at the bottom of the link you provided too BTW, but I figure you're lazy like me and don't wanna bother sifting through a bunch of trash, so you might have missed it )
