43% of one of my sites' hits comes from ht*p://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm. What does this mean? I know myspace.com is some kind of blog, but ht*p://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm doesn't seem the kind of place to get linked from. Is it spam?

I did think a profile is a rather strange place for an image hotlink, so I agree with akilada it must be spam. Isn't there a law against that? Or at least a netiquette?
It seems rather strange that a community with 96M members (must be big biz) will spam your stats.

On the other hand....if it were spam I'd expect pagehits, not image hotlinks.

Anecdotal: I decided to search for my images so I pointed my browser to www.myspam.com (Freudian typo).
