This asshole hotlinks shitloads of servers everday. Most of the time he preys on webmasters that forgot to put an index.html in their image directory and he has enought traffic to easily push your bandwidth through the fucking ceiling. Don't know he can continue to do this shit and not get shutdown.
All I can say is what a fucking prick!

The guy posts links to other sites. He's not using other people's images on his site without permission, he's not hacking anyone, or doing anything illegal that I can tell. He's linking to another site, just like any other link. If you don't like it, then don't make that link available.
What you are talking about, linking to a directory which has a list of all the images, is the way that most TGP's used to do it in the old days.
If he was pulling other people's images into his site, then I would say fuck him up, but the fact that he links to some directory page on another server is not illegal. Linking to a page on another website without permission is not illegal, right? When was the last time you asked permission before you posted a link to a Yahoo picture or story?
If you don't like it, you can stop someone from linking to a specific page on your site by using technology.
