Wow. I never would have guessed that posting links to mp3 files on my website would be such a bad idea. I just discovered I was basically wasting about 5 GB’s of bandwidth a day. The culprit? Crazy little hot-linking teenagers. I just checked my logs (for the first time in way too long) and found a bunch of referrals from flash song players being used on about 300 myspace profiles as well as other such sites. Needless to say the files have been deleted and will be re-uploaded at a later date once I figure out a way to protect against this. I’m sure its an easy fix, but I’m lazy. Anyways, if you’ve got any good suggestions on how to shield myself from this, let me know.

The moral? Seriously, if you find something on the web, and its not yours, ASK! The internet is all about freedom of information and bringing control back to the people, but it is also about community, and just like the word implies community comes from communication. Wow that was cheesy. Ok, (*tries to save myself from a full house moment*) don’t f’ing steal my songs you little bastards :)
