MichaelH, how surprisingly, another someone who posts here to proof what double standards I have. Ok, one more time: I don't have double standards. I don't hotlink people for the fun of it. I used the method in the past to let cheaters know they're not running my show.
I'm talking about people that blindly redirect people to 8 USD/min dialers or child pornography. And yes, I will condone everybody that at least shows some effort in stopping that kind of business. I write 'em first with a warning. Usually that doesn't do a thing, the cheating continues. Then I write their hosts and warn them I will initiate action if they continue to willingly bend MY rules I set for MY OWN page. If after that they STILL don't listen I have no alternatives left then to make it very unattractive to cheat on me. Simple as that.
There are no laws to protect on-line businesses. There are no laws to fight people who redirect to incest sites and pictures of naked children. There are no laws to protect people from 8 USD/min dialers that IMMEDIATELY start dialing once you entered a page with their code on there. I'm not talking about confirmations and clear rates, I'm talking about software that dials internationally without any kind of confirmation or warning. Now if you're protecting people like that saying it's wrong to do something about them I guess you must be one of 'em yourself.
