If you’re wondering where all of your bandwidth is going, it may be partly to blame as a result of someone stealing your bandwidth – and it is also very easy to do. If someone is using your images on their website, blog or forum using the URL of the hosted image on your website, for each time that image is viewed, it is being served by the server in which your website is hosted on. Therefore, bandwidth is being used. You can prevent this by using Hotlink Protection which is found in the control panels of our cPanel Web Hosting and Windows Web Hosting. As shown to the right, you essentially

如果您想知道所有带宽的去向,可能是部分原因是有人窃取了您的带宽,这也很容易做到。 如果某人使用您网站上托管图片的URL在其网站,博客或论坛上使用您的图片,则每次查看该图片时,该图片都会由托管您网站的服务器提供。 因此,正在使用带宽。 您可以通过使用cPanel Web Hosting和Windows Web Hosting的控制面板中的Hotlink Protection 来防止这种情况。 如右图所示, 指定允许热链接的网站和不允许热链接的网站,对于那些未列出的网站,您可以指定要替换显示的备用URL –这可以是备用图像,以告诉那些正在使用您的图像的用户直接别这样 虽然,如左图所示,有些人使用了更多详尽的策略来使人们停下来;)。
有什么法律方法可以使别人停止窃取我的带宽? (Are there any legal methods I can use to get others to stop stealing my bandwidth?)
We’re not lawyers by any means so we could be wrong – so we wouldn’t precisely know whether there is a piece of law covering bandwidth theft. However, if the person is using an image that is hosted on your server or website that you created, you may be able to contact them and order them to remove it under copyright law – even if they host it separately on their website or blog and stop hotlinking, you can still request them to remove the image under copyright law, seeing as in this case you own the legal right as to who may and may not use it (however, we by no means guarantee we’re right about this – contact a qualified lawyer if in any doubt). However, if it isn’t an image that you own the exclusive copyright of, your only choice of action is to either contact the owner of the website that is hotlinking or to enable hotlinking protection. Do bear in mind that by default hotlink protection is disabled in cPanel and Plesk, and needs to be enabled. In Plesk, the Hotlink Protection function looks like this within the Plesk Control Panel:
我们绝不是律师,所以我们可能会错–因此我们无法确切知道是否存在一部涉及带宽盗用的法律。 但是,如果该人使用的图像托管在您创建的服务器或网站上,则您可以联系他们,并根据版权法命令他们将其删除-即使他们单独在其网站或博客上托管该图像,并且停止热链接,您仍然可以根据版权法要求他们删除该图片,因为在这种情况下,您拥有关于谁可以使用和不可以使用它的合法权利(但是,我们绝不能保证我们对此是正确的–如有任何疑问,请与合格的律师联系)。 但是,如果它不是您拥有其专有版权的图像,则唯一的选择是与正在进行热链接的网站的所有者联系,或者启用热链接保护。 请记住,默认情况下,在cPanel和Plesk中禁用了热链接保护,需要将其启用。 在Plesk中,Plesk控制面板中的“热链接保护”功能如下所示:
