Michael, read a little closer (clicked the link to that other thread) and I see you're talking about condoning another kind of hotlinker. I'll leave the previous post as it is though it's not an approriate answer to your post...
But anyway, I don't support hotlinkers. I do act IMMEDIATELY if a hotlinker is reported when the report is coming from the party that is hotlinked. I have no way in the world to know what kind of deals parties have going... I hotlink many paysites myself. All banners on my site are hosted by the advertising party. They know that, and we have an agreement on there. There's no way I can verify a report from someone else. I do check in to it when I get it reported and I do write the webmaster in question. Nothing to do with double standards Michael...
