That's what I thought too. And I actually contacted photobucket because I couldn't understand how I was exceeding my bandwidth and they explained to me that while hotlinking uses bandwidth so does anyone coming onto your site and clicking the images.
The only thing that I can suggest is either buy an account at photobucket or use the scrapbook here. If you use the scrapbook you don't have to worry about any hotlinking because bandwidth usage isn't a problem that I know of.
