Graphics, FanArt, and Vid Makers!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

raloria and i were chatting, and it seems there's another site out there that hotlinks icons, fan art, vids... even though the blog credits the original post. this is a BLOG - but it HOTLINKS.

and so on. there's so much STUFF over there, it's disheartening. if you see your stuff, leave a comment for the blog owner to take it down - it's YOUR bandwidth!

there's also this site - which i can't see - but there's art, wallpapers, icons, all not credited! - Mischief Managed! site's down!

EDIT: there's some unofficial stuff here and here too - lots of uncredited ComicCon photographs too!

honestly, why to people do this? all total, i've seen three sites like these, and they've all been in Europe, so i'm just curious - is there something about the language barrier that precludes people like this from asking the creators/artists if they can repost graphics on their own site and give credit? or are they really just that ignorant?

you can look to see if your graphics and what-not are reposted by googling your photobucket URL and see what you get.

I just tried it-and it won't load for me-I am not sure if it's my pc(been on 4 days straight-lol), or if the site is truly down. It says it can't display the site. Huh. I hope it's down-I hate they hotlink!

both me and raloria are getting black pages - so maybe it really is down - but i just updated the post with two more links!

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

I just saw the update! I am gonna try the url thing-so not happy. ;-( People suck somedays man...

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

i tried it, i'm not linked anywhere. :D

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

I took my general link to my account-no results-was I doing that right? Ugh-this just sucks for everyone involved.
*Hugs*

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

right, just the general main link to your PB, like mine would be "img.photobucket.com/albums/v495/Trystan830/"

[moondropz.livejournal.com]

Ok, good-I'm clear then. Just ugh. People do stupid things-all I can say. Thanks for the updates!
*Hugs*

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

glad you're in the clear! *woot*

I'm glad I am-but feel for those who got hotlinked-I know how that feels. Not cool.
*Hugs*
