TechSolus Anti-Leeching for IIS

There is nothing much to see here...yet.

Leeching, hot-linking or plain old theft as it should be known is where another website, normally a blog, uses your images. In this particular instance the images is not copied from the original website and saved into the thieve's website. They simply "link" to your website which uses up the originator's bandwidth. It can also cause some annoying problems with the image search engines.

This is the start of an experiment to see if this can be stopped. Unfortunately I need Google and the other search engines to check out this image before I can carry on.

In the meantime, here's a nice picture of Rivington Pike.

Angry Tariq Have you got anywhere with this? I am hosted on a Windows based server and no-one seems to be able to do anything to stop hot-linking.

How the hell can Google get away with this? Everyone knows that only pictures hosted on the same domain as the website are legitimate, every website that gets it's pictures from another website is stealing. I lose a large proportion of my monthly bandwidth allowance to the scum that hot link to my site.

What is even more annoying is the biggest thieves are on blogger.com. And blogger is owned and run by Google! Natural listings, this is rubbish. My images on blogger rank much higher than the images on my website. Google puts their adverts on blogger so it's in their interest to do anything to bump blogger site up the rankings.
