I just got a $15,000 hosting bill from a radio station.
 

Ok,,So on 1 of my non-adult sites,,I linked to that william hung video back in February.

Today I get a bill for $15,000 in hosting fees from a radio station that I linked to.

I told them to contact my associates at www.gofuckyourself.com:Graucho

lol ... 15k ? wtf

$15,.000 !!?? you could have gotten a dedicated 100mb line with unmetered transfer

ouch

allways a good idea :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Did you link directly to the video or to a page?

It was hosted at rackspace,,,i guess the video was 'mission critical'

they are responsible for setting up htaccess :)

I host at rackspace as well, I would die getting that kind of bill!

Some station in Arizona

not your fault they dont understand the internet.

Damn... thats a fuckin bill.

Does a company/website have any legal right to recover bandwidth costs due to hotlinking?

Fuck them, let them go to court, I'd bet you would have a nice counter-suit for wasting your time.
