Back around 2002, I had a pdf icon on my website. It got deep linked by a few others but the number one source of traffic came from the website of a lawyer who specialised in intellectual property. There was something on there about how it was illegal to deep link.
I was tempted to replace with goatse but I think I just changed it to a screenshot of his website saying that it was illegal to deep link.
It soon got changed.
- jacquesm 6y agoThat's a neat example of recursion :)
- gumby 6y agoEven though it's not illegal!
- lobf 6y agoI honestly don't understand the issue- he linked to a specific page? What's the problem?
- cwmartin 6y agoI believe they mean the lawyer hotlinked [1] their image so that every visitor to the lawyer’s page would result in an image download from their server. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking
- aembleton 6y agoHe deeplinked to an image file, whilst claiming on his website that such action is illegal.
- renerthr 6y agoIs deeplinking the same as hotlinking?
