Is it possible for me to make anyone who links to my games and stuff for their visitors to be told of their bandwith thieving ways?

without me changing all my links to something different as that could just result in them doing the same thing again!

See if you can enable .htaccess with your folders. Or something like that I'm not too sure.

Or just contact the host, explain and get he site taken down.

Is it that Geocities one?

Can you give me the link to the site that's copying yours?

I'm pretty sure I've got a way round this but I need to see the set-up first..

Sue the goit.

:D

There is a way that if you externally link to a site, it will show an image saying blah blah blah...

But if they open the thing up in an IFrame or a though, I think you're stuffed...

You can break out of frames, I know that, not sure if it applies to iFrames. But if it's not in an iFrame I'm pretty sure I can rig a script together that means the visitors will be redirected to your site.

...But like I say, it depends on the set-up, so I need the link.

Plus, for .htaccess

In a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ http://www.mydomain.com/REPLACETHEIMAGEWITHTHIS.gif [R,L]

or if you just want it to become a broken link (and therefore not take up any of your bandwidth):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ - [F]

Hmmm, they're linking to .exe files which would be downloaded so (to my knowledge) you can't do anything about that apart from with htacess. But, like phil said, complain to Geocities.

Do you have PHP access?
