Should I?!? Hot Link 0WNAGE...

Some Argentinian online store has a link to the TR2-M4 review, which is fine with me... a bunch of stores link in to reviews... But, they have also hot linked to one of the images, and use it on their product description page!! Here: http://www.mercadolibre.com.ar/jm/item?site=MLA&id=9534141

So... Should I:

A. change the review image url, and make the image they are linking to umm, "special"...
B. change it to a dead url...
C. learn their language, politely ask them to stop, and hope that thet are nice people and make ammends... Laughing

I vote for A. Grin

A!

Both Kyle[H], Tom (THG) and Jim_ (2CPU) have done it in the past.

My suggestion is gay or goat porn with a "friendly" notice watermarked.

you better check the source code of that page too. there's at least 3 links back to you.

Definitely A

I think "A" with a special sale price watermarked in (say around $5 shipped) might teach them a lesson.
At least they'll know to host their own "stolen" pics in the future

Nah, at least they gave a live link to the review.

It shows you need to start watermarking your pics though, so they don't get used without giving credit (or cash)

Is there another options besides A??
