Fusker sites

The guys that run these sites say that:

"I strongly believe that the internet is an open medium, and people should be free to view or not view its content as they wish."

and

"1. I'm not stealing your bandwidth. If i was serving my pages from your server without your knowledge, then I would be stealing your bandwidth. It is your choice to make your images available to people on the internet.

2. I'm not using unlicensed content. The only 'content' my site has is that submitted by its users - links to your images. If i was claiming these images as my own, then yes, I would agree."

and

"Still an incorrect analogy. I have taken nothing from your 'grocery store'. A better one might be:
Your store gives away free cookies to tempt people in, and is full of annoying sales assistants trying to convince them to buy things they don't really want. In my store I have a noticeboard where people describe the best route to take round your store to avoid the assistants and get straight to the cookies.
If you don't want these visitors then you should put a sign up saying 'fuskerers not welcome'. (a .htaccess file)"


Anybody want to join me in img srcing this asshole into oblivion? After all, his site is an open medium, if he doesn't want us loading it in an invisible hahahahahaha, he should protect himself against that.
