I have added http://www.webgemshosting.com/ to my blacklist and checked out their IP blocks.
That is why I like being close(literally) to my webhost so that I can take action when action is needed.

He should sue them if he thinks he has a legit bandwidth theft case here, but I don't think he does since no attempt was ever made to block MySpace. It was the opposite. He knowingly allowed the hotlinking to continue, to increase and then slipped in the popup to get free advertising on MySpace. This guy should be thanking his webhost for pulling the file right away. It saved him from potentially being sued by MySpace. Seriously. |

I would drop them immediately, they should have at least contacted you first before making changes to your server.

And who is your hosting company? First move from there ASAP but let us know who they are so we better watch them out next time we are looking for a host.

Admit it... You changed that file for the one and only purpose of targeting ads to MySpace users. You could have used .htaccess, but instead you decided to get a little free advertising on MySpace. MySpace has recently come under media scrutiny for the content of their profiles not being in the best interest of underage users.... So what do you do? You pop an XXX popup and think that MySpace isn't going to care. Hello? |

Hotlinking for commercial gain, yes, a website could certainly have a case. Little Billy hotlinking on his MySpace profile, definitely not illegal. Webpages are not like PDF files for instance where individual files can be saved/stolen and then presented by the false owner as their own work. When a webpage loads it can consist of the work of multiple people, and be served by the owners themselves. The actual owner of the .HTML file is not claiming ownership of the individual elements that are hotlinked. I am done with this thread. Smart people who've been around the internet block a few times and are not just all talk know that my points have been correct. |

Imagine the following situation: -You find yourself being hotlinked by a huge site. -You install hotlink protection. Now, hotlinked images show Goatse. -The huge site mails your host, your host removes your hotlink protection. -You install hotlink protection again. Now, hotlinked images say "buy books at mysite.com". -You host removes your hotlink protection again, and for good measure shuts you out of your account. If you think the host or the huge site are in the right here, you are out of your mind. And that's pretty much exactly what happened here.

If a surfer forum was linking to a movie you have on your server and it ran up your BW bill, I'm sure you would take immediate action to block them or "seek revenge". Would you not? So let's assume you put up a ******* video on your server. Its your server, you can put up whatever legal material you want, right? Well, this surfer forum doesn't like ******* near as much as GFY does, so they email your host complaining about your totally legal movie instead of taking action and correcting their wrong doing. Your host, for whatever reason, agrees with the surfer forum and they pull down your legal video without saying boo to you. How would you respond? The surfer forum has a right to change legal content on YOUR server?

He's only cutting his loss, that's it and that's all. It's their problem to regulate users on their network, if they are going to do stupid shit, and they allow it (they could only allow hotlinks from a free image server they would host, and a couple other accepted sites) . You don't go arround and change people's website because your users can't comply to your rules or are doing something illegal with your network. I'm part of a team that runs a similar site as myspace btw (and not too small, arround 700 000 page views daily right now). We monitor what our users do... we have a report form and somebody on it all the time. Any picture added to their profiles, is on our server. We do not allow any flash/javascript because of the possible exploits. We also approve the profiles 1 by 1 so there is no spam and we also limit the ammount of messages you send daily... lots of other features to help limiting this kind of action. Normally when something like that happens it don't stay up for more then 1 hour. If they grew too fast, and didn't think about that, it's not the problem of the guy getting hotlinked. He's cutting his losses. I understand from your posts that you are a big fan of Myspace, and probably a heavy user too... and understand their problem to regulate their users action since you read about it a lot. But it's THEIR problem, not anybody elses.

Of course, creating this thread was probably a bad step if he intends to sue, and if he can't prove damages it may not be worth it either way.

That sucks. I would first sue your host for damaging files.. Then i would sue myspace for both harassment and for damages.

I've seen a very popular host DELETE all .htaccess files spread over 20 sites - and then send a courtest email 2 days later when the owner asked them what the fuck was going on.

I think we all know that once a webhost has been notified of questionable behavior, the webhost 99% of the time is going to take action. GFY is quick to notify them of content thief's, and it is expected that the site will be removed in short order even though the webhost has nothing to do with the site itself. In your example above, as you said, there is nothing illegal going on. I would not expect a webhost to remove content in a scenario you have described. I would be VERY upset if they did. Let me use this example though... Sly, lets say you run the largest surfer forum in the world (that is supposed to be family friendly) and some of your surfers hotlink a flash video from me to go in their posts. I know the hotlinking is taking place, but I don't implement .htaccess or even contact you to put a stop to what your members are doing. Instead, I modify the file to pop an XXX ad on your family friendly forum. You, of course being the largest forum in the world, don't want to take on the massive burden of relying on your software (and the extra needed hardware) to filter out all of the people attempting to do stuff like this (nor do you want to become a SPAM hotbed for porn sites), so you nip this in the bud and go to my webhost. Right? Well there I am, left with a hosting bill because of what your surfers started. In the end, all I had to do was implement .htaccess or contact you instead of letting it blow up into something it shouldn't have after taking justice into my own hands. Right? |
