WHAT IS HOTLINKING AND BANDWIDTH THEFT?
Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" is direct linking to a website's files (images, video, etc.). An example
would be using an <IMG> tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your
own site, journal, weblog, forum posting, etc. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a website to a user's
computer. When you view a webpage, you are using that site's data transfer to display the files. Since web hosts charge
based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over it's monthly bandwidth, it's billed
for the extra data or taken offline.
A simple analogy for bandwidth theft: Imagine a random stranger plugging into your electrical outlets,
using your electricity without your consent, and you paying for it.
HOW DO
I KNOW I'M HOTLINKING?
Think about how you display an image graphic in HTML on your web page: <IMG src="image.jpg" height="350"
width="200"> This tag tells the site to request the image.jpg file from
the same server as the rest of the site. But if you were to hotlink an image from an outside server it might look like this: <IMG src="http://notmysite.com/image.jpg" height="350" width="200"> Every time the page is loaded,
the outside server has to use it's bandwidth to display the image.
To avoid this problem, don't link to
files on servers that don't belong to you. To share images and files on your own web page, upload them to your own server
or to one of the many free website providers.
