In my opinion, what Newsvine did was brilliant. I have recently discovered several sites hotlinking to my website for graphics and mp3 files, after getting a bill from my server for exceeding my bandwidth. Guess who one of these thieves was? YAHOO, no less...directly linking to one of my images! I sent them a scathing email (like that does any good). In the instance of John McCain, it's funny the guys with all the money can't afford to hire people intelligent enough to run their websites. I am an amateur, by standards, when it comes to maintaining a website, but even I know enough to not directly link to someone elses files. I think if enough people get pissed enough and blog enough about it and expose the "John McCains" and "Yahoos" of the world, maybe it will stop. (Yeah, right.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
