This website lifted one of my pictures: http://www.coverpalace.com/cyantist...tistX2*Collection*Photo0268.jpg~t=1283860128/ Aparantly "Cyantist's Video Game Clearout" is a video game now and they got the very rare cover!1!11! Speaking of which is there anything I can do about this? I removed the img ages ago so it's now broken, similarly many of my youtube videos are embedded on websites that then plaster ads all around the video what can I do about this considering these people are making money from MY video and getting hits from google searches too.
I had some fun replacing a hard linked image with something like this http://ferrebeekeeper.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/cute_pig.jpg complete with the text 'Oink, oink! Stop stealing my bandwidth'.
Heh, welcome to the age of shitty script repositories and starving third world script kiddies. These are the guys that build all these crap automated aggregators that make money either through scammy ads or just by luring people with black hat SEO tricks Google said it was going to deal with this problem, but it didnt do shit. My guess is that half the spammy ads on these sites are from Adsense
Wish I could do that but it's youtube videos unfortunately, I could disable embedding but then they still get money from hits alone I think.
I've had the videos up for ages and they've gained a few thousand views (top one has pushing 100k and one I removed for copyright shit was pushing 200k at one point before something happened with the views) however even if I remove/disable embedding, they leave it on the page and google searches still lead to it.
