You can set certain directories to still allow linking, or you can use a sort of cheating method by disallowing hotlinking of all images types except extension .jpe, then name whatever images you personally want to use as .jpes.

I really did this with htaccess, but when I blog jpg’s it sometimes causes problems when I call the page, maybe my rewrite rule isn’t the best one.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it !

Or maybe someone here can point you to naughtier things to do since he is using JS and php from your site…

That site is also direct linking your css, js and images. Edit your .htaccess file to point him to a different css with black text on a black background =)

I think I forgot to close the Blockquote in that message, sorry.

I’d contact his webhost and his registrar with complaints. He and the companies seem to be based in the US so you can send takedown notices with which they have to comply.

Also, I’d unlink the address to his site above, unless you want to send him hits and pagerank, or at the very least append a rel=”nofollow” to the link.

You can contact Google and they are fairly response to advertisement abusers. He won’t lose advertising on just that page, but his entire adsense account.

Having your users contact on your behalf as suggested above however won’t achieve anything as Google will only respond to copyright claims from the actual copyright holder (from past experience).

Here’s his registrar’s abuse form
http://www.enom.com/help/abusepolicy.asp

You can contact the agency that overseas .us domain here:
http://www.nic.us/about_us/contact.html

His name servers are weird.
One is a weird free DNS service located in Korea who you can contact from here:
http://www.dnip.net/weare.shtml

The other you can contact via:
abuse@zoneedit.com
support@zoneedit.com
And their website is here, although it’s fairly useless
http://zoneedit.com/
Their servers are located in the U.S. (so subject to DMCA) and Germany (where you would maybe know more about applicable laws than I?) and the company itself is located in the U.S., so again subject to DMCA.

If I were you I would just write up a form letter (or DMCA takedown notice) and send the same message to all of the above.

Let me know if you’d like help writing up an English letter.

I would be very disappointed if this caused you to pull your own site offline - and I’m a bit pissed off that this will obviously cause you some un-necessary stress during the building of your gallery plugin (which I’m very much looking forward to trying)!

Good luck Alex . . .
