What “present” would that be? Computer hacking is a crime.

LOL - good luck with your ‘case’ against Mr. Balko :)
You do understand that the photo was on Balko’s site. He owns the photo, the domain, and the domain name where the photo is hosted. He can change the name of any file on his server. You hotlinked to the photo. That’s not hacking. In fact, by hotlinking, you have stolen the bandwidth Balko paid for.
Instead of sending ridiculous C&D orders, you should cease and desist, because he actually has standing.
One more time, it was Balko’s photo. Balko’s domain. Balko’s servers. Where’s the hacking, Puma?
The link must be broken. There’s no article there.
