Re: Junk fax laws If you don't want millions coming to your site, then don't make it public. Have a home page that is nothing but a login screen, with the bare bones code being sent. Problem solved. |

Problem solved. Just because a site is on a public network, doesn't mean it's a known address, and that you want everyone and their brother to know about it. Much like someones phone number being unlisted. It's still on the public phone network, and anyone who knows the number can call.
As for having to adapt my site so people don't abuse it like in this example. What a bunch of crap. Why should I have to design my website in any manner, than how I want to design it. If I don't want my url given out, it should be my right.

If I don't want my url given out, it should be my right. It's plain to see you are not ready to play on the Internet. So why don't you hide your website, that you don't want anyone to visit anyway, on the LAN in your bomb shelter, accessible only to you, and your closest associates, and close the time-locked bomb-proof door behind you... |

If you don't want to play with open public networks and take the necessary precautions to keep EVERYONE from accessing it (ridiculous, if you ask me, but, whatever), then don't play with it at all. I, for one, would love to get extra traffic, but, oh well. |

HAHAHA! Wow... I really dont know what to say... In this case it is OBVIOUS that they want everyone to know about their site, otherwise they wouldnt A: have it as such an obvious url, and B: spend millions of dollars to have it beamed into millions and millions of homes every day by way of T.V. adverts. Besides that, if you dont want people seeing your site, put a password on it. Only an utter idiot would claim that they have a right to stop others from linking to them (hotlinking on the otherhand is definitely a no-no). |

Misused bandwidth is misused bandwidth, why is hot linking so evil then?
