“Hotlinking” (also called “hot linking”, “leeching”, and “bandwidth theft”) is a term referring to when a web page of one website owner is direct linking to the images or other multimedia files on the web host of another website owner (usually without permission, thus stealing bandwidth). This not only causes the other person to pay for the bandwidth of the hotlinked file, but often is intellectual property theft.
So, for those that are linking to my server, (/thadrew/) you should know that is against the law to link to someone elses server/images/videos or any other content without permission from the content owner. And guess what! YOU DONT HAVE PERMISSION!
