Title: Google Images "Hotlink Protection" Overlay
Post by: cardmaverick on April 05, 2013, 17:35

I just ran into a picture via google image search that somehow manages to overlay a message on the enlarged google images view stating "CLICK HERE FULL RESOLUTION". Under it says: "HOLINK PROTECTION ACTIVATED - THE DOMAIN YOU ARE VIEWING FROM HAS BEEN EXCESSIVELY EMBEDDING - MAX ALLOWANCE 100GB".

I knew someone out there would figure this out, totally awesome. Next step is to somehow overlay an e-commerce kind of thing - one click and you're already at the checkout - no need to create an account.

I don't see this as fighting back but rather turning lemons into lemonade.

My one concern is this whole cloaking thing... will it get you removed? I don't know.
