Myspace e-mailed my webhost today..

[Hardlinks]

What a fucked thing to do as a host.

[Doctor Dre]

150 bullshit moves from hosts

[Matt 26z]

I should have brought this example up sooner....

What if I were to hotlink a sponsor banner for my GFY sig without their permission... Then the sponsor notices I've done this and finds a way to do a popup through a .jpg file so that they can get some free advertising on GFY. Would it be unreasonable for GFY to be upset at such a company?

This is the SAME THING.

[Doctor Dre]

Wanna bet? Unless we are talking about hosts who deal with shady clients, they ALL would have bowed down to MySpace. Every single one of them.

They may come into this thread stating otherwise, but the bottom line is that when a company that was just sold for nearly $600 Million asks a small webhost to do something, they are going to do it.

Right or wrong, they are going to do it.

Ok now you are just dumb. I can say idiot too.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about at ALL. No host that respects itself would do that. On a virtual host, probably, but no way on a dedicated one.

When there is a problem, profetional host email you and give you 48 hours notice to take action if something is breakign their TOS. That's it and that's all.

Your experience with 2 mainstream shitty hosts blind you...

No. No it isn't. First, very few people here (if any) are saying that MySpace was in the wrong for being upset about what budz did. What everyone here is bothered by is the fact that the hosting company, no questions asked, removed the files from his account when MySpace told them to do so.

In your example, it wouldn't be unreasonable for GFY to be upset, just as it wasn't unreasonable for MySpace to be upset. What would be unreasonable is if GFY were to go straight to the company's host and have the files removed.

However, in your example, GFY would simply change out your sig, much like MySpace should simply have removed the hotlinked content from their site.

Indeed you have. However the exploit did not come without risk. You accepted that risk and then came crying to GFY like a baby when something bad happened.

Wow, I can't believe you are still missing the point. If this were to happen, GFY would remove it from THEIR SERVERS, not where the file is hosted.

[lazzlo]

No, Tom does indeed control the internet.

lmao!

I've seen LOTS of people on GFY try to hotlink images from places, and those places have hotlink protection that replaces the image with an ADVERTISEMENT that says "This image is hosted by so & so"...

idiot.

Just stop trying to argue with the guy, he is clearly brain dead.

Not at all... they just block flash to disable thoses exploits . That's the smart way to do it. You are just 100% behind myspace even thought they are wrong, and you are definitly looking like an idiot right now.

There are tons of people hotlinking shit that's redirected to advertisement on GFY.

P.S. because myspace is a "family" playground, it don't mean that if somebody hotlink something from an adult domain, that they have more right then any other website on the internet.

You are not quick at getting a lot of points there, and you aer stuck on your point (EVERYBODY IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE WRONG)

[budz]

p.s

IF anyone wants to buy an ad on the warning page @ www.voyeurz.tv The ad will remain up the rest of this month.

make me an offer:

[chadglni]

Idiots on the internet, I swear.

[jacked]

IF IT WAS SUCH A CONCERN TO MYSPACE THEY SHOULD HAVE BANNED HIS DOMAIN NOT CONTACTED HIS HOST AND TRY AND HAVE THEM REMOVE/CHANGE THE FILE THAT IS FUCKING BULLSHIT IF MY HOST EVER TRIED TO MODIFY OR CHANGE ANY OF MY FILES THEY'D BE HEARING FROM MY LAWYER

whether it was against myspace policy or not its on their part to block the domain now not the host of the site in question.... fucking morons

[FlyingIguana]

Why think of it as a scheme to get free advertising? Why not think of it as a way to re-coup his losses for all the bandwidth that MYSPACE STOLE FROM HIM?

[Kiwigirl]
