A Google Search for "keep from hotlinking on myspace"

The Hotlinking the Vegetable About file was just accessed via this search. (hmm, the about file is on the first page, that's a bit surprising as it's only been around a few days.)

I'd be curious if eventually they discover something. The solution provided by A List Apart is pretty good if you have the access and technical skill. Mostly access, he walks you through what to do. So perhaps reading the about file will be helpful.

This all seems very strange. I support the rights of a creater, but seriously, how can anyone expect that their way cool picture isn't going to end up bouncing around the net. Yes, it's best if attribution is given, but people simply don't understand what they're doing, and/or they don't really care. It won't change anytime soon, indeed, it will become more pervasive.

Putting a cool picture on the web seems like an attractive nuisance. An attractive pleasure, if you will.

I'll have to read through that google search, see if I can glean any bits of wisdom from among the dross.
