Mischief
Siteground, who i´m well chuffed with have various advanced stats systems. That means I can see which sites out there are hotlinking or stealing images and using up agaveweb´s bandwidth. Turns out lots of young scamps have hotlinked to a picture of “American History X” as their favourite film. I couldn´t resist a bit of mischief and swapped the image for another movie. With amusing results….
Spot the odd film out on these people´s MySpace pages: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. There´s scrolling to be done. Looking forward to seeing how long it´ll take for them to notice.
That´s the thing with hotlinking pictures, the people serving them up at their expense can change them to whatever they like. I think I´ve been relatively benign with the swap. Word.
Good one, Gwyn XD
It looks absolutely precious amongst all that dark stuff. But you’re not completely evil, I see: you could have used Barney the dinosaur instead…
My own own “Firefox / En buena onda úsalo” logo-thingy is quite hotlinked at this point… but I’ve been letting it be. It’s a good cause, after all 🙂
Maybe Barney tomorrow. Oh the possibilities…
It’s all too complicated for me, but I don’t like the idea of people pinching pictures without giving due credit. So well done on the little bit of mischief-making!
I thought about it. Forget Barney, yours is better. Or this one, or this one… In fact, you know what? What this really needs is some Streisand.
Gawd, I’m starting to wish I had some rough macho gangsta kids hotlinking my pics… sigh.
