To see why this is a problem - look at these thieves:
http://www.bojue.com/big5/board/board1/data/
I bet every page in there is hotlinking to graphics - here is what happened to me:
2 37100 0.83%
http://www.bojue.com/big5/board/board1/data/18243.html
3 18455 0.41%
http://www.persiankitty.com/
4 16899 0.38%
http://www.dudu-sex.com/board1/data/855.htm
5 16588 0.37%
http://www.thumbzilla.com/main.html
This was before I installed hotlinking protection. Notice the assholes from 2 and 4 were stealing more from me than legitimate sites were giving me such as persian kitty and the like.
I think they should be shut down, but no one cares. Auston hosts one of them, and did remove the offending page after I emailed them.
