I am curious, how many think hot linking files directly is stealing?
Scenario:
You find a file on the net. You like it and want to share, so you take the liberty of just linking the file as you choose without regard of who is actually paying for the files bandwidth..
I would like to hear from both sides of the coin.
If you do believe hot linking files is acceptable. Please give a intelligent statement as to why it is ok.
If your an owner of a site and pay for bandwidth. How do you feel about it. If it irks you or eats more bandwidth then you find acceptable. How do you deal with it?
