This short video describes what happened to one of our customers who worked hard to build a website and brand identity — only to have pirates hotlink his logo and website graphics and use them to help deliver malware.

HotlinkALARM is Brand New software technology released on January 15. It gives you a distinct advantage over hotlinkers and digital thieves, serving as an early warning system that an unauthorized website is displaying your digital property, draining your bandwidth and possibly even stealing your products and brand identity — perhaps even your personal identity. Digital piracy is the plague of the 21st Century. Sometimes it's a thief working alone. And often it's an organized band of thieves with a common goal: To enrich themselves at your expense by stealing your digital property.Protect
Your Website With HotlinkALARM!
HotlinkALARM adds security to your web presence. It gives you an edge over pirates — and you'll reclaim your intellectual property and the traffic you're losing to thieves. Our proprietary technology detects hotlinking and is customizable to suit your precise needs. Two things happen:
This will appear in your inbox: ![]() This is the message: ![]()
What's really cool is the thieves won't necessarily know you've caught them. Our proprietary technology gives you the option to hide the discovery from them for a limited time. Following that time period, people who visit their website will see messages that the hotlinking image pirate can't see. HotlinkALARM includes a default image, plus a selection of other images you're free to employ. Our graphics come in an assortment of sizes. Think our messages might make an impression on the audience of the thief? "Graphics

HotlinkALARM
Stops Image Pirates Dead In Their Tracks And Redirects Stolen Traffic
To The Rightful Owner."Inspired By A Brazen eBay Thief eBay is one of the world's great businesses, empowering ordinary people from across the globe to make money online from home. Its success as a "Destination" website, however, also makes it a favorite marketplace for hotlinkers, product thieves and digital pirates. Such was the case in October 2007, when a digital pirate stole our highly successful eBook, "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online" and posted an illegal eBay auction. Not only did the thief take our product and slash the price from $27 to $9.99, he also hotlinked to the images on our server. Incredible as it seems, he stole our product and our carefully crafted brand identity and drove traffic to his illegal auction by using images he pulled from our web server. Think it couldn't happen to you? Well, it's time to think again. These are actual screenshots of the thief's eBay auction:
Basically we had two choices: Play by the thief's rules and lose control of our product, profits and intellectual property — or do something about it. We chose the latter. HotlinkALARM was born after we learned a very important lesson: If it's not nailed down, somebody will take it. HotlinkALARM nails it down. Piracy
Is Real. It's Happening Right Now!
While hotlinkers and pirates are pumping up their profits at your expense, your brand is getting diluted and your server is pulling files for a thief. That's not good in any case, but it's especially bad if you use a shared hosting account. Most Internet Marketers and small businesses online use shared hosting. Image pirates put your server and hosting account at risk. But theft of ordinary graphics is only part of the risk. You'll be in deep, deep bandwidth trouble if a hotlinker steals your videos and audios, sucking the life out of your server. The message of these contemptible, hotlinking pirates is simple: "Not only am I going to steal your property, I'm going to rub your face in it and hand you the bill!" Well, HotlinkALARM is an excellent way to track down thieves who are illegally selling your product! Image theft and hotlinking occur daily worldwide — and not just on eBay and other auction sites. Dishonest Bloggers steal intellectual property, converting it to their own use. So do corrupt webmasters. So do solo thieves and organized piracy groups, some of which operate from half a world away. In the worst cases, the thieves even may steal a digital photograph of you and post it in forums and elsewhere. They might even pose as you, making identity theft part of their poison plan. Somebody could be paying them for products, thinking they're paying you. That's what happened to us on eBay. Know what else? Pirates even may steal digital photographs of your customers, friends and colleagues who provide Testimonials for you — and they could pose as them. It's enough to ruin a good day in a hurry. Pirates Are The Plague Of The Online Business World Retail theft is a $100 billion problem globally. As online commerce expands, so do the opportunities for pirates and thieves. Sometimes the thieves work alone. But often they're part of an organized band of pirates with a common goal: To enrich themselves at your expense by stealing your digital property and brand identity. Pirates can heist your intellectual property even if they live on the other side of the world. Their specialty is stealing your hard work, your graphics, your products, your brand identity — even your personal identity. That's what they did to us until we said "No More!" by creating HotlinkALARM. Chances are good that your website is losing business to thieves. Ours was. The eBay thief's customers didn't know they were dealing with a pirate. They even left him positive feedback! In essence, the pirate was leeching off of our positive brand identity, using our intellectual property to create profits for himself at our expense.
We went to work
immediately to take the advantage away from
the thief. The discussions about creating HotlinkALARM and programming
it to disarm pirates began only hours
