On the internet, it’s often every man for himself, and that’s exactly where content creator and Reddit user Lostinthesnakepit found himself when he discovered a website had stolen their tutorial on making a movie prop replica.

But as the man explained on the subreddit ‘Petty Revenge,’ instead of sitting back or filing complaints, he decided to take matters into his own hands and came up with a plan on how to get back at the thieves.

BTDT. Had someone hotlink one of my images as his avatar on another site. Not a thumbnail, but a large image, which was being displayed as a tiny avatar. This was using my bandwidth which in those days had limits. So I subsituted the image with one that said "Copyright theft is criminal". The avatar was changed shortly afterwards. This is somewhat nicer than the above, and as you can get into trouble for hosting nasty images, somewhat safer! We had a similar issue on a car forum I run, where one of the users hotlinked someone else's images and they were replaced with nasty ones, which we had to remove PDQ.

G O A T S E. For the love of all that is holy do not google this unless you have copious quantities of eye bleach on standby. It's so bad that it's still on every profanity filter after well over a decade.
