Bandwidth theft

Yes, I do read my webserver logs. Mostly out of curiosity on what people are looking for on our site, and what is popular. I'm always interested to see who's linking to us. This is how I found out that someone had been stealing our bandwidth - not much, but (for me) that's not the point. Now I understand that my screen caps of Gronda are quite hot, and I have no objections to someone copying them (it's not like I own them in the first place). But for courtesy's sake, either link to my page or copy the file to your own server.

I had by accident read yesterday melankolia.net's entry on bandwidth theft, so I knew what to do. My caps are now protected (and in a more polite way than what Mikko did, not that I didn't find his way funny!) - I would have left a comment on the thief's blog (who might or might not be a friend of a well known indy wrestler and a wrestler himself - but if he knows Gronda, why can't he get the photos himself?) but he had disabled anonymous comments so he's left to find out what happened himself.
