Direct Linking To Our Site

[norbinho]

nothing more to add to michael's words...in my opinion he is totally right and i don't find it acceptable that people used/use links to his and kat's site with asking for permission to use it...yes, you are right calling them lazy bastards.

it's a similiar thing with the authoring of some shows with menus, chapters and livemetallica audio...some people don't care about it and just do it without asking the filmers for permission!!

...but on the other side linking to a website of another person is somehow typical for things that are happening lately...certain guys are out there who always want to have anything first and the easiest way possible...doesn't matter if it's a new show or great looking info pages done by someone else!!

so, to conclude my comment, get your lazy asses up and make some very cool websites like kat's and michael's or mike's or dusan's yourself and stop that "linkstealing"....

we should respect kat's and his wish!!

I am not trying to be an asshole, but I really dont get why you care so much. You would think you would want your site to be popular or linked, thats a sign of success!

I havent updated my trading list for 2 years, and frankly I dont care right now. I am a lazy fucking bastard. I dont use links and half the time I dont even credit who authored the show, cause I could care less. Probly the wrong attitude but whatever, Im lazy as I already stated.

But seriously if you dont like it, take it down. No point in drama is there? I just dont understand where you are coming from at all.

Its kinda like Metallica getting pissed cause all their MOT or Mission Metallica vids that get ripped to youtubue and then posted on Blabbs. Do they really care? If they released a press statement "all the work that is put into creating the vids for their fans are now being linked all over the globe. Their is only one Metallica site. Stop Watching youtbube." Probly a stretch but the best analogy I can think of right now. I blame the beer, lol! What would the world say to that?

People have different opinions Mark, that`s fine, you don`t care about whose show it is, updating your list etc, and that`s cool, each to their own i suppose

I do care, i don`t want people using what they didn't create, simple as that.

Metallica would be pissed about the vids on YouTube, if they were a tiny little band, who struggle for cash, Metallica are the biggest band in the world, everyone knows who they are, and what with the whole Napster shit, maybe have thought better about suing people lol

Thankyou 130268, i appreciate it

well i can see were he is coming from..
as for other people linking it to make it more popular, thats bull as prob 99.9% of traders already no about his site, along with other sites like mikes etc etc.
for a start off the time and effort put into the creating the pages , screenshots, and any other info thats on it is not done over night..
i know from experience as i have had to do all my own pages without the use of the hobbsites functions and its took me months.
and not to say the bandwidth this uses up with every other member linking to his/her pages.
so i totally agree with you and i have noticed more and more people are linking to the info pages.
jeez its not hard to make your own. if you want a nice looking site then take some time out from all trading/downloading/surfing the www and make your own site, info pages, setlists etc etc.
then you will have a nice site with everything you want on it all done and crated by you.

then see how you will feel when every1 starts linking to your site..

how does that obfuscation thingy work? Just out of curiosity

http://aspirine.org/emailcode_en.html
It converts html code to javascript
It doesn't avoid hotlinking but other people can't read the urls from your page.

http://demos.metpage.org/MOP.htm check the source, you won't find the urls of the hosted mp3

FYI I can still see the URLs when I mouse over them in firefox. Works in Internet Explorer though.

I highly doubt that, and its such a close minded statement. Most traders do not trade "just" Metallica shows. This is a relatively small community compared to the rest of global trading that goes on outside of Metallica. I would say 95% of the trading community has no idea about his site. Shit. maybe more.

And yes Metallica is a world renowned band. If they were an unknown, they would be DYING for any kind of exposure they could get. Think about it. What unknown band wouldnt want to be linked all over the place. Just look at some of the crap that makes it to blabbs.

But dude all Im saying is that I really dont think its a big deal and dont understand why you wouldnt want to be linked. If you feel that strongly about it just take it down. Its seems like the easy approach.

Had never the Idea to embellish my site with michaels or others work. I place the links only for information. I meant no harm by it. Peace

I can't understand why there is such a big debate over this. Mike has requested that people not link their websites to his. People should respect his (and anyone else's) wishes. Quite a while back, when I was looking to improve my site on Freewebs, I PM'd Mike and asked if he would mind if I linked to his site. He politely responded by saying "thanks for asking" and said that he'd rather have peole build their own. I respected his request and I'm currently working on my own site.

Don't take his (or anyone else's) work for your own. Using it as a reference is one thing. Passing it off as yours is something entirely different. If you want your site to be as detailed/nice as his, do it yourself!
