The Times is hotlinking images on its website.
The New York Times is hotlinking images on its website. That makes the Times a copyjacker. Copyjacking is a violation of netiquette. Is it a violation of the law? You decide.
Here’s the proof.
Shameful.

Greetings,
By the way, here is a link to the offending article:
http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/is-it-time-to-start-talking-about-the-gas-price-gap/
My prediction is that the Times will (1) edit this article, (2) not acknowledge its error, and (3) not fix the underlying problem (i.e. the practice will continue and/or not be totally eradicated).
2007 is 1984.
Regards,
Erik

Greetings Tom,
I have not contacted The New York Times directly about the copyjacking (bad hotlinking) issue.
