Do you know hotlinking is bad? Kagamin :333
What is hotlinking and bandwidth theft?
Bandwidth theft or “hotlinking” is direct linking to a web site’s files either images, video, ect. An example would be using an <img> tag to display a image you found on someone else’s web page so it will appear on your site. In other word, “hotlinking” is when a website or blog use your image with a direct link, so result a consuption of your website bandwith.
Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a web site to a user’s computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site’s bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it’s billed for the extra data or taken offline.
A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets, using your electricity without your consent, and you are paying for it. ;P
