thumbnail thief - hottyvids.com
 

This guy actually had the gall to tell me that he didn't steal my thumbs after confronting him about it. The top 5 thumbs on his site hottyvids.com are all thumbs I cut that have appeared in the HOF section on my sites. They are totally identical pixel for pixel and all have the exact same filesize as well, judge for yourself (my thumb domain is animetiger.com):

No argument that you're in the right here, but is this really a big enough issue to spend time on?

It won't take much effort on my part to cause some trouble for him, and he pissed me off when he tried denying it... besides I'd rather not have my sites singled out as being something easy to steal from ;)

this has been resolved

Did you take my advice and beat him with a baseball bat? That works 89.3% of the time.

lol, well the online equivalent of it... |club| he refused to acknowledge that he had done anything wrong and told me to leave him alone, so I found his posts on other boards requesting traffic trades and started posting the above info everywhere he had posted.

Those thumbs were changed within hours :D
