This happened to me once. I had placed an old router on eBay and some guy decided to sell his using my picture (linking straight to my server). I got so pissed that I canceled my auction, got a sledge hammer and beat the crap out of the router. I then took another picture of it completely mangled up and waited for him to get a bid before changing the picture. Later I kept changing the picture captions with absurd statements such as "Got mad with my mother-in-law today" and so on. I was laughing so hard for those 3 or 4 days that it was worth every penny of the router I demolished just for this. I still wonder what happened at the end of the auction as it ended with a $20 bid on a $500 router. g k> There have been frequent discussions about people 'borrowing' images k> by directly linking to them on someone elses web site.
