Kos steals another blogger's graphic, bandwidth
Joe Sherlock writes:
"The Daily Kos, a blog which allegedly gets 500,000 visits per day, has posted something from my little blog on his. Sort of. What he did was set up a page (on July 11th) that pulled one of my graphics directly from my server, using my limited bandwidth to fuel part of his big blog so to speak. No credit, acknowledgement, hat tip, or link to my site, however. (Thanks for nothing, jerk.) The only way a viewer would know it came from me would be to examine the html source code on Kos' page.
"Kos proclaims -- on the 'about' section of his site -- that his liberal blog is 'the highest-trafficed (sic) political weblog.' And he has lots of money-making paid ads. Despite all the cash coming in from blog-ads, his store, etc., this cheapskate is doing the equivalent of siphoning gasoline from my little old Plymouth coupe to fuel his big party limo. Talk about a Limousine Liberal!

Yep, seems like Kos stole Joe's photoshopped graphic of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann (comparing the guy to Milhouse on The Simpsons), didn't ask Joe's permission or credit him, and had the nerve to suck it off Joe's site, bandwidth and all.
Joe's revenge on Kos is pretty funny.
