Moral of the story: Hot linking costs everyone something. He basically said, “well played,” thanked me for not goatse-ing them (If you don’t know what that is, don’t Google it.), and let me pick out a free plug-in. Surprisingly, less than 12 hours later I received an email from one of the company’s developers. Long story short…I uploaded the image and went to bed. For a short while this unofficial endorsement was live on their site. I had formatted it to look nearly identical to their artist endorsements in hopes that it might ride under the radar, remaining visible on their support page for as long as possible. This meant that the above image would now show up on their site. The names of people and plug-ins are blurred out to protect both the guilty and the innocent. So I created this new image to replace the one they were linking to on my server. I knew I could do something funny with the hot link and maybe get a free plug-in out of it. It was the photograph I took of two iLoks, which is featured at the top of this very blog post.

I had a bandwidth leech!Īnyway, a very popular, well-respected pro audio plug-in development company (who will remain unnamed, because it ended well) was using an image from my site on their support page.

If you’re not familiar with hot linking, it’s like stealing cable TV from a neighbor, except it hurts the neighbor instead of the cable company. After poking around my site stats and hits, I discovered someone was hot linking me. I can’t tell the story just yet, but I bet it’s going to be a good laugh when it’s all over. I think this screen grab from the website says perfectly what many digital audio workers are thinking.Ī funny thing happened with some of the content on this page. If this were a football game, PACE fumbled at kickoff, bungled the whole first half, refuse to answer any questions at half time, and amazingly the fumbled ball is still loose in the second half. PACE has acknowledged there are issues, but has been otherwise silent. Even if I could sign in, the advice on the the “street” is don’t try to sync your licenses, ’cause you might lose them. Pressing OK makes the error go away, but it comes right back when I click “Sign In.” The iLok support site doesn’t list this problem as a issue I can submit a support ticket for.
