Below is an example of a basic .htaccess file that will block the
hotlinking of video files. 

I find it rather obnoxious that they place the onus on you to protect
yourself from them. On the other hand, on the technological level, it
is. There may be other clever tricks you can pull as well.

What if you did a video about how much blog television sucked, and let
them copy that one.

There was some drama here about another dodgy gang called i638.com or
something, doing a similar thing to rocketboom. You'll have to check
the archives.

2005-08-17 Thread mariah & katharine




i dont know what to make of these guys.  

i actually got a response to the email i sent to their parent company
yesterday, which was a nice surprise.  but it wasnt very helpful.  it
was basically a form letter that directed me to the "block your url"
page, which i dont think i can use, cause of the whole blogger/archive
setup i got goin'.  

it also said that their mission is to take the burden off of our
servers, by hosting our videos.  sounds like a a bit of a crock to
me...  if they had such noble intentions, wouldnt they contact us
before using our vids & tacking on porn ads?  

and i did notice a few more vloggers on their site last night.

put me down for - "i think theyre shady."  

maybe one of them lurks here & can speak up to clarify this??

Sorry for being too techie. I'm assuming you use Blogger and it FTP's 
the files to your own site at missingkittentv.com, is that right? 
missingkittentv.com does appear to be using Apache as the web server 
software running your site. Is affinity.com your web host? You'll need 
to check with whoever hosts your site as to if you can use htaccess 
files with Apache. I hope that makes sense.

You need to be hosting your site on a server running Apache that will 
allow you to use .htaccess files to control your site. Check with your 
hosting provider if you can do this or not. (Just ask if you can use 
htaccess files.)

just did that.  but since nothing happened (no confirmation), its hard
to tell if it really went through.

they also have this bit below it:
-
Hotlink Protection
Below is an example of a basic .htaccess file that will block the
hotlinking of video files. Feel free to modify and use. While this
will not prevent BlogTelevision.net from indexing you, it will prevent
BlogTelevision.net from displaying your videos inline.

this is not a type of code that i am familiar with.  does anyone here
know what it will do and what im supposed to do with it?  do i have to
put this in my blogger template, or in every post with enclosures?

Here's the "about us" description from their website, which appears right below an ad for 
"the world's largest sex and swingers personals": 

BlogTelevision.net mines over three five million blogs daily to find videos for your 
entertainment. We find and highlight the videos that people are talking (read: blogging) 
about! Nothing is censored and we update numerous times each day so check back 
frequently.

Please note, because we are a 100% automated website of the sheer volume of videos 
identified by BlogTelevision.net all videos are not reviewed by editors, thus we cannot 
guarantee all videos are safe for viewing at work.

As long as they do not receive higher search return results than you,  
if you are willing to let them keep up with it, maybe ask them if  
they have a program to pay since they are generating revenue.

Also, the least they could do is report back statistics.
