Stealing Bandwidth
I seem to be getting googled for nemo sushi. Which is cool, but there are some people who are proceeding to link directly to the photo. This is called stealing bandwidth.
I didn't make the photo. It's been around the internet for a while. Please copy it off to your own server or link to the entry itself.
I am assuming that they are clueless, rather than rude. Therefore, instead of goatsing the image, I have 403ed non-snowblink referers.

I think you're probably right about them being clueless. I only recently found out about stealing bandwidth. I did it myself once or twice when I started out blogging - linked to a NASA photo I think and something on a news site, because I couldn't seem to get them to save to my computer. I'm a reasonably quick study, but I still find myself pretty clueless at times. Blogging is still not all that user-friendly to the non web literate. My two cents worth!
