Hi all.

I friendly surfer just let me know, that images is posted (loading from my paid hosting) on various bulletin boards on the net. I'm still waiting for my hosting provider to reply - hopefully they will prevent this as I myself do not have access to edit server configurations or uploading a .htaccess.

Now, do you have any experience with this?
This is not only bandwidth theft (which is quite costly, as I pay for every single byte transferred), but also copyright infringement - the pictures are promotional content provided by Adult.com (Cash Tour).

Obviously I e-mailed the offending bulletin board administrators, but I am told that they normally do not care. I also e-mailed the abuse department of the offending poster, but I doubt they care either - as the user isn't posting anything on their servers.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks you all.
