Changing your uploaded pics to something like goatse is a shitty thing to dobecause you are punishing everybody who happens to read that website, rather than the person who stole the picture.
People will leech and steal images all the time - it's just part and parcel of putting stuff up on the internet and not really worth getting angry about.
If it really bothers you and the stuff is hosted on your own webspace, use htaccess to stop people linking to your stuff.
[edit] Also, did you ask permission from the owner of the goatse photo before you stole it and put it up on your webspace?

I feel thatchanging images that are leeched f4rom your website is absolutely the correct thing to do ( although I agree that using htaccess should be a no brainer ) but it is the manner in which you do it that counts.
Using shock images is just silly, coming up with something original that both embarrasses the leecher but makes it clear to all who see it that the guy is a bandwidth and image thief is the way to go.
Complaining that people leech an image from a free hosting account, what's more an account that provides all visitors with common forms of useable links because they actively encourage such linking for their business model is just a bit of cockmunching.
