No, thanks for pointing it out, I'll let Robb know to tell them to pull it down.

 

It's one thing to link to our videos, a whole other to host them and download them from someone else's site.

Just a question, what was the problem with that video? Did CP get pissed because of onride footage? If you don't care to explain, that's fine by me. I have the video and found it on Kazaa (which was odd) but thought it was weird you got so many onride shots. Like I said, if you don't want to talk about it it's no big deal.

Also, the domain is not register to rules of ICAAN, (it's bogus) here's the info...

You can report this, and they will lose the domain. Since it was registered at godaddy, you can report it there, and the process will be faster.

they need to do that for all their sites, themeparkreview isn't the only one being hotlinked. If all your domains are on the same host account, you can do all the blocking from a single htaccess.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://themeparkreview.com/ [NC]

RewriteRule [^/]+.(zip)$ - [F]

 

Or, just block server access from anyone coming from those sites specifically, or refer them to a "the web site you came from STOLE our content" message, and force them to view theme park review's web pages.

New site to watch to make sure mine don't get stolen as well. Also a stats program which reads the HTTP logs would help on the hot-linking side, you can report them to their web host and demand payment for used bandwidth if it becomes a problem.

 

Most web hosts have that in their AUP as a violation.

Whoops. Forgot about all the domains. Good Call!

 

Thanks.

 

Another trick, forwarding viewers from an offending web site

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.RCTDLOADS.COM/
RewriteRule /* http://www.cybercrime.gov/compcrime.html [R,L]

 

This would forward viewers to the federal investigation cybercrime unit website. A little scare tactic that I use for offending websites, and for people trying to snoop around. (I won't even get into my 401 and 500 server error tricks. )

 

I also have an extensive block-list from known fraud ip's and domains if you want it.

I remember when this came out, I'm sure we all do, I checked the link too and they haven't done squat to take it down.

 

This is wrong of them to do so, they should lose the domain if found guilty and it seems they are guilty....

 

anyway it's a great video, i still have mine from 2003!

 

Great Dragster POV Robb!

Uhh, I flamed the webmaster by calling him a plagarist and this is his response.

 

Well THANK YOU, BUT I have permission from Rob to host and give links to all TPR videos INCLUDING the CEDAR POINT VIDEO, which i only avaiable here on Rct3Unlimited. If you have any questions about that, please ask him. And if you don't like Rct3Unlimited, please don't come back.
