A friend of mine, who is particular about the quality of photographs he uses, once put an iPod up for auction. Some time later, he found that a German seller had pinched his photographs for his own auctions, and moreover, made the mistake of linking directly to them, so that Ben's web space was being hit by fairly high traffic levels.

Ben got his girlfriend Birgitta, who's German, to prepare a new text to overlay the photographs, and replaced the originals. I can't remember the German text she devised, but it read in English something like 'All the items I sell are non-functioning dummies and do not work. If you ask for your money back, I'll tell you to *%&^% off.' (It was 'kiss my arse' but Ben's English version was more earthy still.)

It worked a treat.


sounds like a good plan!
