Holy shit this guy is amazing.
I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.
People have been occasionally replacing images at least as long as people have objected to other parties deep-linking to images on their site.
I remember there was a story where some newspaper was stealing an image to print in their paper. The guy noticed after the first edition went out and somehow figured out that they were hot linking to his image in the layout software, so he changed the code on his site so that that hot link would send a different image.
No one noticed and then they sent it to print so they accidentally published the newspaper with an offensive image.
