This idiot grabbed our (www.wozzers.co.uk) funny videos page, changed a few colours then uploaded it to his website. Each link went to the particular video's page on Wozzers, but that's not the point - there was absolutely no recognition of the fact he had ripped it.

Any ideas as to what to do lol???

Well, when you click on "This idiot's" website it shows his address. I'd get a big bat and go break his legs.

have a word with the guys in forum room 35 - they offer some of the best computing advice I've found on the net and may have a nice vengeful solution.

change the filenames on the wozzer site, then upload some 'duds' of your choice to the old file names, maybe some **** for instance, or just a video of the the word 'THIEF'

Best option is to write a PHP script called "download.php" then point all your video links to it with "download.php?id=1" or whatever.

That way, when the script runs, you can check the referer, i.e. where the link was clicked from.
If the referer is your site, then allow the download, else output "thief.jpg" or whatever.

I can probably knock you up a script in no time if you want

I take it your server supports PHP??
