pwned

26 March 2007

I noticed that two people on myspace were hotlinking images off my personal page. This means that they were having the pictures displayed on their myspace profiles at my bandwidth expense. This is inconsiderate and considered bad form. Well, since the pictures they were pulling were on my site, then I could change them if I wanted to, right?

The first guy is a theatre lover. Nothing wrong with that, James and I have been known to dabble in the theatre from time to time. He found a “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” poster that I had posted a while back. His myspace profile looked like this:

Bandwidth Stealer - before

I grabbed a pic from his uploaded pics and Dave made a little plug for GC. This is how his profile looks now (or until he takes down the pic):

Bandwidth Stealer - after

Another guy did the same thing but his profile was set to private, so all I could do was grab his profile pic and change the picture he was stealing:

So that I’m not a total jackass, I’ll make them both Short Bus Riders of the Week.
