I bet a lot of webmasters who use the whitelist approach to robots.txt didn't know about or consider BingPreview, I didn;t, thanks for posting that not2easy.

Is it even legal for Bing to be showing full sized hotlinked images? Something tells me they'd better pony up a legal fund to be paying for the free bandwidth they are taking... or at the very least keep their lips sealed when the feds propose rate hikes due to huge demand on carriers for bandwidth.

What htaccess code would one even use to force bing to display a thumbnail only? Some images can be huge in terms of bytes, photography sites etc.
