Found this posted by Fat Sam on alt.www.webmaster
Quote We've probably all experienced the problems of people remotely linking
to images on our websites....
 
Well, this made me laugh...I found it in another newsgroup, but I
thought it would be relevant here....
 
Imagine the scene
 
Ebayer1 decides to sell a graphics card, and in order to better show the
product, he links to some images that he has stored on his own server....
 
Along comes Ebayer2, who happens to be selling the same graphics
card....He checks ebay to see if anyone is selling anything similar, and finds Ebayer1's auction with all those lovely extra images....

So he decides to remotely link to them too....
 
Naturally, Ebayer1 notices this extra traffic, probably in his referral
logs, so he changes the images on his server.....
 
The resulting page of Ebayer2's auction can be seen here

I especially love the image of the Plasma TV with the caption, "This
Plasma TV included free"....
 
My favorite is the "Please don't taunt the dynamite monkey"

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
