Before I banned robots from indexing my graphics directory, I used to get a lot of MySpace kiddies hotlinking my images. I generally renamed the image and uploaded something like NUDE DAVID HASSELHOFF WITH PUPPIES using the same filename.
I had a generic image for horkers, which I renamed the way Aardvark did. It had a mild scolding note and the URLs for free image hosting services. I’d check back from time to time to see if the kiddy horkers had wised up or benefited in any way. Almost none of them did. I suspect youngsters don’t really understand the evil of horking until they’re paying out of their own pockets for bandwidth.
Oh, ouch. How embarassing.
He should put the images back–but use HTTP referer rewriting to substitute goatse when hotlinked from the dork’s site. :-P
Then, let him contact a lawyer.
