This guy should be thanking his webhost for pulling the file right away. It saved him from potentially being sued by MySpace. Seriously.

lol, sue me because THEIR users hotlinked a file that I have the right to control? .. c'mon

if it be a popup or anything else is besides the point. My site, my content, my bandwidth, my say.
