I know someone who had, of all people, Facebook hot-linking to his stuff. He redirected all visitors to his homepage. Then Facebook's legal department called his home number, his wife answered and got nervous, and it all ended there.
- orthecreedence 13y agoInteresting! I personally would have loved to have a chat with Facebook's legal team about the issue. Although I'm a bit surprised they'd actually call him instead of either a) not hotlinking anymore (seems to be the most obvious solution) or b) just sending a quick C&D. I'd be surprised if they actually have a leg to stand on legally if they are hotlinking off someone's site, especially if there's have no prior agreement to allow them to do so.
- foobarian 13y agoSounds fishy. It would take days for any kind of legal action like this. Doesn't FB push code like every couple of hours? A code patch would have been many times quicker.
