It is often considered a form of bandwidth theft as it uses the host's server resources without permission. There are several synonyms for hotlinking, including direct linking, offsite linking, bandwidth stealing, and leeching. In order to prevent hotlinking, webmasters can set up measures such as using image watermarks, implementing hotlink protection codes in the server, or disabling hotlinking entirely. It is important to respect the copyright of others and ask for permission before using their content.
