- EnTaroTassadar, on 06/12/2009, -7/+634He should put the filenames back, but goatse-ified.
- Gundumfx, on 06/13/2009, -8/+591This reminds me of another digg submission a couple years ago.
because its the exact same submission - rubixcubez, on 06/13/2009, -37/+472From: Grandma
FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: OMG LOL this guy is so funny! - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -2/+433That reminds me of my neighbor. I have an old wireless router that for whatever reason lost it's wep key. I saw it blinking away for a few days, and when I noticed my computer was not on I knew someone was leeching, so I unplug the internet, to reset the key later and keep the opportunity for a prank. An hour later I get a knock on my door. It's my neighbor wondering what happened to the internet.
- flyers126, on 06/12/2009, -8/+352"i am an honest business man..."
oops. - rambomcfly, on 06/13/2009, -2/+301The irony of stealing an image of an email about stealing images.
- Chairboy, on 06/13/2009, -0/+278I did that to someone who had link-jacked one of my images _into his forum signature_. This had a huge effect on my bandwidth consumption for no reason. I'm fine w/ some jacked images that are at least in context or entertaining, but in a SIGNATURE?
Goatse'd. All 2,000 or so of his posts were suddenly... glorious. I believe his career on that forum was shortened. - barc0001, on 06/13/2009, -0/+216Tell your neighbor that you couldn't afford to pay the bill since someone was leeching your bandwidth. And now you know who to hit up for money...
- inactive, on 06/13/2009, -3/+202I had this faxed to me in 1986.
- BC200, on 06/13/2009, -2/+178I don't think Grandma would understand the humor...
- JDLamb88, on 06/13/2009, -4/+163Did you then shoot him in the face?
- SitPoMk, on 06/13/2009, -5/+130did you cocksmack him?
- TheCollective00, on 06/13/2009, -4/+124I read it on stone tablets excavated from caves in the Dead Sea.
- snafflepaffle, on 06/13/2009, -1/+114I think someone cut and pasted it onto a new e-mail and forwarded it to tons of people. Seriously, this is ancient.
- protogenxl, on 06/13/2009, -2/+104How old is it?
- twiztidsinz, on 06/13/2009, -7/+108Have fun writing "BANDWITH THIEF" on dildos in men's asses.
- aceslick911, on 06/13/2009, -9/+106i normally dont thumb up these comments.. but i swear this is from 1998 or something.
- inactive, on 06/13/2009, -2/+99The fact that you looked at that image long enough to find that out scares me.
- knilsilooc, on 06/13/2009, -14/+109I'm pretty sure Gmail wasn't around in 1998.
- inactive, on 06/13/2009, -0/+93I had this sent to me via smoke signals in 1848
- NodOfficer, on 06/13/2009, -1/+91?

FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: OMG big meanie! - br0q, on 06/13/2009, -3/+89http://digg.com/tech_news/If_you_do_not_upload_the ...
very unstaged actually. the other two pages missing from this submission are the funniest part.. - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -8/+93the greatest payback for bandwidth leechers ever - you will enjoy reading this if you haven't already - if you have read it again cause it's still funny as hell
http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/1011 - Vosem, on 06/13/2009, -5/+88Soooooooo old.
- pyrobaby, on 06/13/2009, -5/+87It's amazing how fast people will stop stealing your bandwidth when you change all your images to gay porn with "BANDWIDTH THIEF" written on the dildo stuck in the guy's ass.
protip: just make sure you don't spell "thief" wrong, or your glorious revenge will be diluted. :( - DavidTurnbull, on 06/13/2009, -4/+82sooooooo
- diggydoc, on 06/13/2009, -14/+90over 9000
- BossKey, on 06/13/2009, -4/+78I had it passed to me encoded in proteins shortly before life emerged from the oceans.
- algaeturd, on 06/13/2009, -1/+67Is the animated Dancing Baby gif going to make the front page tomorrow?
- Terasiel, on 06/13/2009, -0/+61I had my cabin boy fetch it from the local pub whilest we made port in Charleston.
- jattea, on 06/13/2009, -3/+64God told me this while he was burying dinosaur bones 5,000 years ago
- Lunarparcel, on 06/13/2009, -5/+59Since this exact same article had already been dugg in September of 2008, I think I will just post the exact same response I wrote back then, but lickety luckety me! I get to fix a typo I made the last time.
This is the appropriate response to the submitted correspondence:
------
I was thrilled to learn that your illegal usage of my images was a valuable foundational asset for your business. Having hosted my own copyrighted image content on my own web site, I can completely understand your concerns and frustrations in developing a thriving and successful web-based enterprise.
In helpfully alerting me to your long-standing thieving ways, along with your assertion that my work has helped you to build your own business, you have renewed my hopes that I might possibly realize viable economic returns in compensation for my efforts, and build my own successful business from my work as well.
Let's see.... I have the copyrighted image content. I have the website that hosts the content..... I guess the only thing I am missing is for thieving nincomtards like yourself to pay me adequately and fairly for the use of my content. Do you have any good ideas on how I can make this happen?
Perhaps you should consult your lawyer, as you suggested. I am sure he or she might have some great ideas on how to compensate me. In fact, I think I'm going to speak to my lawyer as well. Thanks for the great tip.
Sincerely,
- - - - -
P.S. Here's your sign. - diemunkiesdie, on 06/13/2009, -1/+53Here is the guys website where he talks about the e-mails. He also has screenshots of the rest of the e-mails that went back and forth between him and the guy. http://www.shapelessmass.com/index.html/?p=578
- Networktwenty3, on 06/13/2009, -0/+52And next submission: Hamster dance.
- rileyhallwood, on 06/13/2009, -5/+56i would say thats older than the internet, but it's an email.
- TheInformer, on 06/13/2009, -3/+52But I'm an honest Digg poster.
- BeerRules, on 06/13/2009, -0/+44I read it on the walls of my parents cave as we pondered what this hot orange looking stuff is, it seems to make ox taste better.
- TDDebug, on 06/13/2009, -0/+44Green on black is okay but not when you open up digg again and the white background gives you a seizure.
- JDLamb88, on 06/13/2009, -4/+46What is goatse, if not gay porn?
- FreddieD, on 06/13/2009, -2/+43I should be so lucky to have a grandma that can forward me messages. My grandma look at a computer as if it were an alien with a venereal disease.
- Leezus, on 06/13/2009, -1/+41Yeah, that explains his poor motor-function.
Wait, what? - Hamletlere, on 06/13/2009, -1/+39That's still the excuse you are using, eh?
- Ghostalker, on 06/13/2009, -13/+50This *****'s ancient, get some new material or go back to reddit.
- Chakat, on 06/13/2009, -2/+38@JDLamb88
The goatse guy is married, or at the very least, is wearing a wedding ring. - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -4/+39Dick Cheney style? (not sure if that reference works here)
- geoken, on 06/13/2009, -0/+33I'd also go with gay porn. A while back some Nigerian King had a sweet offer for me, I made sure to download some gay porn, rename it bankinfo.jpg and send it right over to king Butamba.
- DarkShroud, on 06/13/2009, -0/+32The people who have to pay the bills.
- t0x2c, on 06/13/2009, -0/+32It might be that I've taken more than my fair share of assembly classes (damn computer engineering), but I find green on black rather relaxing.
This guy was really smart, definitely a suggested reading. - stuffradio, on 06/13/2009, -2/+33Hard on my eyes! OWEWWWWW
