Grrr. Could somebody with a myspace account please send a message to this person for me? Here’s what it should say: “I’m really glad that you found my sock monkey tutorial useful. But don’t you think you could’ve just posted a link instead of hotlinking THIRTY-SIX images from my site? I had over 1000 image hits from myspace.com yesterday, and I pay for my bandwidth. That’s not cool. Plus you didn’t even give me credit for it anywhere. Did you somehow miss that line at the bottom every page that reads: ‘Copyright © 2004 Kristine Howard. Please do not reproduce without my permission.’? Seriously not cool.”
Update: WAIT! Hold the presses. I just realised that’s a myspace account, not a livejournal one (as I imagined it). I have a myspace account! I’ll email the offender myself.
One Hour Later: Well, the person killed the post. Fair enough.

Hey kris, why don’t you just redirect all those images to goatse?

That’s what I normally do actually (except I use this little gif instead), but I’m in a good mood today so I figured I’d give them a chance. I tried to contact the poster myself by they’ve restricted access to myspace users. Please let me know if any of you do manage to get a message through. If it’s not fixed up by tomorrow, I might have to get a bit more medieval on their ass.

That gif is cute. You missed an opportunity to have some fun. You could have replaced all the images with a fake tutorial that resulted in a hideously deformed sock monkey.
