What is hotlinking?

Hotlinking (also known as file leeching, remote linking, direct linking, bandwidth theft or bandwidth banditry) is a term used to describe a fraudulent operation: it consists of creating a direct link between one of a domain owner's web pages and images (or other multimedia files) on another domain owner's web pages, usually using a marker. If your domains are subject to hotlinking, you will probably have a problem with excessive bandwidth consumption.
