A Warning About Bandwidth Theft

 

Operating this server costs me money.   I have to pay for the bandwidth that I have.   Some people link directly to images on this site without realizing that is stealing money out of my pocket.  In addition, everything on this site is copyrighted, which means it is illegal to use anything on this site without permission.   Using material without the permission of its creator is stealing all the hard work and effort they put into it.  Therefore, I am EXTREMELY aggressive in dealing with copyright and bandwidth thieves.   If I find someone has stolen something off my site, I will do one (or more) of the following:

1.  Notify the ISP of the abuser to have the offending page or user forcibly removed.

2.  Replace the image with highly offensive, hardcore pornography.

3.  In an extreme case, bill the offender for the stolen bandwidth or use of the copyright and if they fail to pay, send the bill to a collection agency, which means the offender will have a negative credit report, which means that they'll have trouble getting credit cards, renting an apartment, buying a house, and even getting a job.

 

And yes, I can be gleefully evil when it comes to pursuing thieves.
