I had to laugh last night so hard! here's the story:
As you know I post a lot of pics and always post link to my site. In 99% forums where I post my pictures I post them in "funny pictures threads".
On some forums they don't allow links so I stopped posting links. On vast majority of forums they allow it and I post there.
But you always have people who don't like it so from time to time there's always some who accusses me of spamming so I always says in such cases that if you hotlink pictures from some site you using his bandwidth and it's ok to give credit to that site and last night guy from one forums replied to that:

So hes ok with theft but don't links to be posted?!?
I asked him is it ok than to steal his car if he left it unlocked! He didn't replied. :1orglaugh

So what you want to say that stealing isn't stealing if you steal something cheap? And this isn't about worth of bandwidth.
This is about claim that it is ok to steal something if owner of that thing didn't protected it.

oh no no. you misunderstood. What I meant is that BW is so cheap so many companies have removed their hotlinking scripts to get more views on their stuff. I didnt say it wasnt stealing. I just stopped caring about that in 01/02
