Somewhat related: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10237697 (293 points, 587 days ago, 204 comments) They were using his site to check if the CC were valid. It's not the same problem, but perhaps you can get a few ideas from the site or the discussion. -- Other ideas. I'm not sure if they are good: Mark the new / suspicious accounts and add captchas until the credit card is verified. Are they downloading the images manually or automatically. If it's automatic you can offer some interesting images like "plain_white_wallpaper_full_resolution_16000x9000.bmp" (and the 4x3 version too) Just make the link no visible with a custom css / white text on white background / tiny font / whatever. (Are there some totally safe cc0 images that you can redistribute too?) Put this fake links only for registered users, not for google, because google may think you are doing something shady. How are they monetizing the site? Are they using AdSense? Can you send a complain to Adsense? |
