On one of my other message boards, one of the members found out that a local radio station was using one of his images.
The image itself wasn't that bad, just a baseball team's logo, one they could get anywhere really. So that wasn't the problem... the problem was that they were linking directly to HIS image and thus stealing bandwidth. I'll call him ZZ.
So, after conferring about it on the message board and listening to advice from various members ZZ opted to change his <baseball_logo.jpg> image to an infamous porn one ([blanked]tubgirl[/blanked]).
Well it worked. The site freaked out that they suddenly had an obscene pic there and scrambled to change it. They picked a picture from another website, but this time they actually had a contract.
And just for shits & giggles, another boardie ("QQ") sent them a complaint about the porn image and how it traumatized his son. They replied with an apology and said that they had "been hacked".
Much LOLs on the site. And another user emailed in to say "no you weren't hacked. your coder is stealing bandwidth and now you're lying about it".
Moral of the story: don't bandwidth steal or someone just might make you regret it.
And yes, some of them did suggest ([blanked]goatse[/blanked]) too.
