why not check the ref. to see where the user comes from... if not from your site then redirect to the frontpage...

That might help some. It would catch people linking to files located on Spe3D's server, from an external location. However, it wouldn't catch someone with a web site located on a Spe3D server, linking to an illegal external URL. I believe the first practice is called "hotlinking", and I think there are various known measures that can be used to prevent it. I'm not sure how to automatically prevent the second scenario.

Lastly, there is a third category. People who have a web page on a Spe3D server, and offer illegal content from that same server. I don't think this could be automatically detected, but at least Spe3D would have full control over the situation, once detected.

Why can't people just limit themselves to posting entirely legal content and links to entirely legal content? This is very disrespectful to Spe3D, not to mention illegal. If you don't respect the current copyright laws, at least show some respect for Spe3D, and avoid posting anything which might cause him legal trouble. Spe3D offers some very helpful FREE services, which I would hate to see disappear because someone couldn't show some common sense and decency. There's an infinite amount of perfectly legal content that could be shared with everyone. Please, don't post illegal content, or links to illegal content. No one needs them anway.

take care,
McLilith
