I was checking my server logs once and saw a lot of hits from eBay and
other auction sites for a picture of something I had sold a few months
earlier, and found that a number of people (including one business
site!) were linking to the picture I had used in my auction, and were
just pointing to it on my server instead of copying the picture to their
own server. After I was done being pissed, I was able to amuse myself
by substituting the picture for a different one and pulling up the
offending auctions for a TiVo recorder which were then displaying a very
cute picture of my daughter. I don't know how it affected the bidding
:)
