Forum Moderators: phranque
When it's a commercial page, I perform counter actions by the .htaccess referrer redirect.
But they are mostly forum pages. People illustrating more or less strange discussions with my photos.
Now I have an idea.
if the referer is not example.com, I could return a picture with a description
_____________________________________________
You are copying a picture from example.com to Your web site. This is something like a copyright violation.
But as long as You are a not commercial homepage, we allow You to use the picture by the following method:
<iframe src=http://cgi.example.com/cgi-bin/picture?theme.example.com/picture-url>
</iframe>
If You are a commercial site, please contact
us for proper licensing of our pictures.

I thought my cgi should return
<html>
<body>
<a href=http://example.com/page-where-the-picture-is.htm><img src=http://http://example.com/page-where-the-picture-is.jpg>
</body>
</html>
Any input on my idea?
Hat somebody experiences with similar tactics?
Does Google count IMG links for link popularity?
Does Google count IFRAME links for link popularity?

You can put whatever message you want in the no_pictures.html, but why would you want even a non-commercial entity to use your pictures (and/or your bandwidth) unless it was useful as some sort of advertising for your site?

I want to force them to replace the pictures with an iframe where the picture contains a link to the page where the original photo is.
I hope that maybe 5% follow the link.
Maybe try googling for "hotlinking protection". I found a script that mod-rewrites external image requests to a php file that displays the image and a link. The script I found was rendered poorly, and the whitespace needed to be edited to get the header stuff all on one line to make it work.
If people hotlink they get a red cross (html doesn't process too well as an image) but if the image on your site is linked then the visitor can see the image and the link.
Most forums will not let users insert iframe code
I just found out the same problem, after starting to code a solution.
