From: Willie Crawford, Will Bontrager And Patrick Pretty
To: Hard-Working Website Owners And Entrepreneurs Subject: Justice For Hotlinkers and Image Thieves — Finally Dear Online Colleague,
You spend countless hours and perhaps hundreds or even thousands of dollars designing the graphics for your website. Or maybe you pay an expensive designer to do the work for you. The site looks good. You feel good on the inside because you take pride in your work. Your customers compliment you on the care you take with your business. It's always nice when someone notices, isn't it? People do notice — for reasons good and bad. It's unfortunate. But sometimes the people who notice could care less about you or your hard work. What they want most is to line their own pockets from the fruits of your labor. So they steal your images, hotlinking them from your server. If the theft
itself weren't enough, they're now rubbing your nose in it by using your bandwidth to beam your graphics to their thieving website. Talk about having your space and privacy invaded! Talk about feeling ripped off! It's likely only to get worse if the economy takes a turn for the worse in 2008. Profits And Reputations At Stake
But what if your graphics aren't the only thing they've stolen? The graphics could be the tip-off that they've also stolen your product! And there's something else to get your blood boiling. Maybe they've hotlinked your graphics to a site that's undesirable by any standard of decency. It could be a hate site or a site that sells illegal products. Perhaps they're displaying your hotlinked images on sites that peddle family-unfriendly graphics or take advantage of children, senior citizens or vulnerable members of society. Imagine your red-faced embarrassment: Your images, your hard
work — displayed on a site that would make your mother cringe and
your grandmother faint. Coupled with the theft and privacy invasion, it's enough to make you hopping mad. But what do you do about it? Read on. We'll show you . . .
Image Piracy Is Real. And It Also
Might Mean They've Stolen Your Product!
If the pirates have stolen your images and are hotlinking them, they might be doing it because they've also stolen your product! It's the worst kind of theft. Not only are they stealing your work and confusing your customers, they're making you pay for it. They're stealing your images and your hosting account while they use your intellectual property to enrich themselves. Fact is, it happens every day. Any Internet Marketer or online merchant who's spent any time at all on eBay and other auction sites knows thieves routinely steal products and images and hotlink them. While they're pumping up their profits at your expense,your brand is getting diluted and your server is pulling files for a thief. That's not good in any case, but it's especially bad if you use a shared hosting account. Most Internet marketers and small businesses online use shared hosting. Image pirates put your server and hosting account at risk. But theft of ordinary graphics is only part of the risk. You'll be in deep, deep bandwidth trouble if the hotlinker steals your videos and audios, sucking the life out of your server. The message of these contemptible, hotlinking pirates is simple: "Not only am I going to steal your property, I'm going to rub your face in it and hand you the bill!" Well, HotlinkALARM is an excellent way to track down thieves who are illegally selling your product!
Thieves, Thieves — And More Thieves . . .
Here's how HotlinkALARM came to life: We discovered an eBay auction featuring one of our products. Trouble is, we never authorized this product to be sold in this fashion and never offered Master Resale Rights. That didn't matter to the person conducting the auction. What mattered to him was an eager eBay audience clamoring to buy our product for one-third of its retail price, a dagger in the hearts of our legitimate Affiliates. Upon further investigation, we discovered the person conducting the auction also was hotlinking to our images. Imagine the nerve! Simply stealing the product wasn't good enough. He also discounted it and used our images and Testimonials to drive traffic to his website. Ever try to contact eBay on a Saturday? There's Red Tape everywhere you turn. Notes to take. Forms to be filled out and faxed. eBay is huge. It's like trying to get the government to do something. Something needed to be done, something to help detect these thieves before they can make a fortune at your expense and hurt the pocketbooks of hard-working Affiliates who follow the rules. We took it upon ourselves to do it. We made HotlinkALARM so it tells you the URL of web pages that hotlink to your images. You then can investigate to see if they're also selling your product.
A 'Real-Life' Solution To Address Common Theft
And here's another thing: HotlinkALARM puts an end to the maddeningly selfish explanation of "That's just marketing." You've probably heard others use that excuse to explain away theft. "That's just marketing" is an excuse that affects real people — real people who rely on their products and website images to make money for their families. HotlinkALARM gives you an extra layer of security so a thief can't simply walk away with your dreams and send you the bill.
Image theft and hotlinking occur daily worldwide — and not just on eBay and other auction sites. Bloggers steal images. Corrupt webmasters steal images. Organized bands of thieves and individuals from half a world away steal images, pulling them directly from your website each time their pages load. In the worst cases, the thieves even may steal a digital photograph of you and post it in forums and elsewhere. They might even pose as you, making identity theft part of their poison plan. Somebody could be paying them for products, thinking they're paying you. Know what else? They may steal digital photographs of your customers, friends and colleagues who provide Testimonials for you — and they could pose as them. It's enough to ruin a good day in a hurry.
Introducing HotlinkALARM, A Smart Product
That Protects Your Website
HotlinkALARM adds security to your web presence. It gives you an edge over image pirates — and you'll reclaim the stolen images and the traffic you're losing to thieves. Our proprietary technology detects hotlinking and is customizable to suit your precise needs. Two things happen:
This will appear in your inbox. ![]() This is the message. ![]()
![]() What's really cool is the thieves won't necessarily know you've caught them. Our proprietary technology gives you the option to hide the discovery from them for a limited time. Following that time period, people who visit their website will see messages that the hotlinking image pirate can't see. HotlinkALARM includes a default image, plus a selection of other images you're free to employ. Our graphics come in an assortment of sizes. Think our messages might make an impression on the audience of the thief? "Graphics
Piracy Detected By HotlinkALARM!" "This Website Owner Is Using Unauthorized Images. Click Here To Visit The Website Of The Copyright-Holder." " HotlinkALARM
Stops Image Pirates Dead In Their Tracks And Redirects Stolen Traffic To The Rightful Owner."
PowerALARM Protection Included!
HotlinkALARM is extremely versatile. Included with the software is a dynamic PowerALARM option that gives you each of these robust capabilities: Delivering an image you create to the hotlinker's website, rather than our default image. Putting a link on the image — either the one being hotlinked to or the replacement. Causing an Alert Box to appear in the user's browser, with the message of your choice. Inserting a message of your choice directly into the thief's web page. Redirecting the browser to another URL, helping you reclaim pirated traffic.Talk about a powerful features set! You can continue to beam your message for as long as you'd like. Eventually the thief will discover he's been caught. He'll be motivated do remove your images and not mess with you again.

If you choose to use this feature, you'll know that people who might download the files from the thief's website are seeing only what you want them to see. It's a built-in HotlinkALARM bonus! You'll always have the ability to substitute files for JavaScript, CGI, video, audio, PDFs and ZIP files. HotlinkALARM has a powerful features set.
