I am being hotlinked

Posted by

A blog has been hotlinking one of the pictures of my old blog. Hotlinking means that the picture was all the time on my server, not on theirs. Of course I was not asked before, no appropiate credit is given and I payed for the traffic on my domain.










I have contacted them to negotiate a retroactive aquisition of a license to use my picture. We shall see how that is going to work out. In meantime, since my old blog was deleted including that picture, I uploaded a new picture, so that the article is still complete.



I have been tempted to use something really more provoking. ;-)

The link to my picture has been removed now only a few hours after I gave notice. It was at least a quick reaction.
