Stolen Bandwidht. How do I find out who is doing it to me?

Factual Questions
1

I work with a website.
We have stats from a free program called webalizer.
Webalizer tells us that one of our biggest referers is: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm.

I figure someone is using one of our website’s pictures on his profile page or something like that.

Actually, I don’t need to know who the person is. I just need to know which file he / or she is using so that I can replace it with a different image file (same name) that displays the words, “don’t steal bandwidth” or something like that.

Of course finding out the myspace page using our picture would be good. Maybe they are actually refering users to our site, rather than just taking a picture.
How would I go about figuring that out?

Webalizer isn’t reporting detailed enough statistics, but your web server should be logging everything behind the scenes. Download the actual web server logs and you should be able to see exactly what file is being accessed and what the full referer is.

If you need more details, please tell us which hosting provider you use and which web server (e.g. Apache 2.0 or IIS) they’re using.

oh and dont forget to replace that picture with something offensive temporarily to get the stealing site into trouble .

It must be a windows server since the urls are .asp

I’ll ask the department with ftp access.
Would that be like one text file per day?

I believe this nefarious practice is called Deep Linking.

And the best way to take care of it is to change the source image to goatse

I vote for tubgirl

Jesus H. Christ. Some mod needs to put a warning on that one in case some idiot like me comes along and puts, “goatse” into Google Images.

If you don’t know, you don’t wanna know.

Hey, Tub Girl isn’t as bad as she once was!
“Are you hun?”

A word of warning: don’t do the tubgirl either. Wow.

Things that make you go:

::shudders uncontrollably for hours::

Oh… my… God!

I was warned.

Now how am I supposed to get to sleep?

Bleah!

Here’s a less drastic alternative. I recently had a bandwidth thief using my morse code graphic as a background to his site. (It makes an ugly background by the way). Anyway I was afraid that since parts of the graphic were covered by other graphics and text, I wanted to make sure I got my message across. So, I made an MS Paint graphic with “Bandwidth Thief” typed in size 12 font in all different font styles, colors, etc.
Here is something similar to what I did.

I did NOT use the suggestions at the bottom of the graphic, but it all depends upon how much this guy is getting you steamed. Perhaps other Dopers might offer some suggestions.

Now if I might ask a question for other Dopers:
The bandwidth thief in my situation was linking to (let’s say morscode1.gif) and so I made the real graphic morscode2.gif and changed the HTML accordingly.
However, some browsers require you to click the refresh button to see an update to a page. So, when I put that nasty graphic for the thief to hotlink, I added a message at the top of it stating “If you are seeing this graphic and are at mywebsite.com then click the refresh button on your browser.”
Is there a way to refresh someone’s browser to avoid their seeing tubgirl, etc if they are truly at your website and want to see the real graphic?
