If your website is on this list, then it is likely that you have been a victim of hotlinking by Freakonomics.
When John McCain built his MySpace site by linking to images that were not hosted on his website, it was big news on Digg, TechCrunch, and elsewhere.
For the past two months, popular blog Freakonomics has been hotlinking images on at least 83 other websites. (See original post about cleavage copyright on Freakonomics and follow-up post about widespread inline linking on Freakonomics.) This means that when you load a Freakonomics page (or read a Freakonomics blog post) with hotlinked images, the images are not being loaded from freakonomics.com. Instead, the images are being loaded from another server, likely without the knowledge of the site that is hosting the images. The hotlinking started in earnest after Freakonomics hired a new editor, Melissa Lafsky, who is also a lawyer.
Is this also big news?
This is not a victimless act. At least one website on this list (#75 http://overheard.loveneverfails.ca/) has been shut down because its bandwidth limit was exceeded. Another website, a public library (#80 on the list), was the “beneficiary” of huge amounts of traffic due to a Freakonomics article about libraries that Reddit picked up, resulting in the Freakonomics server getting hammered. If a commercial blog like Freakonomics got hammered, imagine what happened to the public library.
WordPress bloggers who want to prevent having their images used on other websites without their knowledge might want to try the Hotlink Protection Plugin for WordPress.
If your website is on this list, then it is likely that you have been a victim of hotlinking by Freakonomics. Will Freakonomics acknowledge this misstep and make amends? Time will tell, but I’m not holding my breath. Other companies such as FeedBurner and FeedBlitz are quick to react to issues raised by bloggers. The Freakonomics team has been strangely silent on this issue.
