Inline linking
Wikipedia wrote:
Inline linking (also known as hotlinking, leeching, piggy-backing, direct linking, offsite image grabs and bandwidth theft) is the use of a linked object, often an image, from one site into a web page belonging to a second site. The second site is said to have an inline link to the site where the object is located.


To me, the most memorable case of a site hotlinking to a Sydlexia.com image was the IGN incident.


Some websites that have current inline links connected to Sydlexia.com


Your mission if you choose to accept it:
Find live hotlinks and post them here. Lets see who is eating Syd's bandwidth, slowing down this site, and determine if their cause is just!

And seriously, I wouldn't go all apeshit over people hotlinking on a forum...which incidentally all of GP's links are. I'd classify that one under "Fair use". And Syd has already stated he doesn't care.

Yeah, I really don't care about hotlinking. I would rather people hotlink than rehost it themselves. Besides, hotlinking helps both my traffic rankings and my search engine rankings.

QFT. One person hotlinked one of my images, and suddenly a fuck ton of people started doing it, which, as Syd said, increases traffic rankings and such
