I'm not in the habit of blogging about stuff I see on digg, but this time I'll make an exception:

I hate bandwidth leechers

Doin' my annual website cleanup and I find a leecher using my wedding video stills. Let's see if if anyone wants their bridal packages now.

UPDATE

Gavin holt recently said this on digg:

GUYS I GOT A CALL FROM VIRGINIA THIS MORNING. I told them to get a new web designer. I placed all the blame on the designer (which is true) and told them to make them pay for any BW charges (which they should) and that trying to bother or blame me is wrong (which it is). I explained to them that all I did was change a (copyrighted) image in "my house."

"It's not my fault if I change a picture on the wall in my house, and because of your bad web designer you can see that picture in Virginia."

The house analogy was necessary to explain this concept to them. I tried to explain Goatse to them (that it could be MUCH worse), but you wouldn't believe their response.

Me: "You know it could be much worse, like one of the images where you look at it and wish you could erase it from your memory, like the really really really bad images on the web. Have you ever seen one of those images, ya know?"

Her: "Yeah like that one of the dog."

WOW, that went over her head. Imagine if she saw tub girl....

So I told them I can't change the image until I get access to my server....kkkkmmmffff

The website ended up changing the picture... But they are making the same damned mistake, as pointed out by this digger:

HOLY SHIT THEY'RE LEECHING FROM AFRICAN-AMERICANBRIDES.COM NOW

THE IDIOTS STILL DON'T GET THE POINT... IF YOU'RE GOING TO INFRINGE ON A COPYRIGHT AT LEAST SAVE THE FUCKIN PICTURE ON YOUR OWN SERVER

Amazing! I am in awe.
