Is it possible to avoid that hotliking of a file? in this case was a heavy mp3 file, but it easly could be a heavy image or a video.

The email he got from support suggested hosting the mp3 on a third party site like youtube or soundcloud, which is a good idea I reckon. Youtube would work for videos, and I guess imgur or imgbb for images?

Not ideal, but all free!
