A while back, I posted that "streetclimb" video with the file name Monkey.wmv. Earlier today, I was browsing through my webspace, I saw the file, and thought to myself "I posted that ages ago, I dont need it anymore," so I deleted it. Within minutes, I started getting emails through RIT's Broken Link Messenger, an automated service my university runs to notify webmasters of any broken links. Turns out, someone had added the link to a chain email, and hordes of people have been downloading it all along.

I'm not upset, given that my university provides pretty much unlimited bandwidth, but in another situation where I was not so fortunate, I could be. While not technically hotlinking or leeching, I would've appreciated it if the person who had added the link to the email had asked my permission first.

In closing, I give you a screenshot of what happened to the last person who tried to leech images from my website:

Which video was that? Sometimes I just copy links and paste them in e-mail to friends not really paying attention to the url.
I don't think it was me in this particular case but refresh my memory.

welcome to the internet, where everything gets stolen.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

It was the one with the people that were doing back flips off of brick walls, and jumping from rooftops to other rooftops over alleys, and generally making their way around urban architecture in ways that were unintended by the designers.

A lot of people were accessing the file, so either it was a chain email that was well established, or someone pasted the link and sent it to all 200 people in their addressbook.

Like I said, I'm not upset in the least, I just think that whoever did it should realize the error of their ways before they leech off of someone who really does get upset, and knows how to rectify the situation (pun intended for those you of you that get it).

Wasn't me. That one didn't seem to impress me so I didn't send it to anyone.

Replace the video with gay porn, it'll stop, and if it doesn't that should narrow down the search.

That's a good idea, except that to replace it with gay porn, one must first verify that the video they have is gay porn... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
