browser have very explicit rules against this very action by apple. in your browser, apple.com cannot access the content from jguitar.com

That is not true in several ways. Iframes and cdns work. There are security measures that prevent https connections from embedding http and other content restrictions, but those are for security reasons. People hotlink images, it's a wild web out there

For everything you described there is a tag or http header i can set on my own content to prevent a browser on another domain from 'hotlinking'. If you are the 'browser' as this IOS feature is, there is none. I hope it at least respect the robots.txt rules.

They've been requesting for donations on their website , the main source of their income.

It doesn't mean that everyone that visits Wikipedia is going to donate. It means that they save a TON of bandwidth from people that would access Wikipedia for a specific information and bounce, it doesn't alienate the important part of Wikipedia's maintenance: editors and collaborators. So all-in-all the lost revenue from donations is more than covered by the savings in bandwidth.

If we extrapolate what you're saying, no one visiting their website would mean all the bandwidth saving, but no income at all. So it doesn't hold good.

Sounds to me like theft.

You mean like stealing someone's business cards in order to promote his company?

If you're taking the business cards and cutting the contact information off them and then handing them out, that's theft.

And the content author doesn't have any copyright say over his content?

Don't confuse redistribution and how you display something.

I thought that if I put up a web page with a copyright notice on it, the only way someone can use a portion of that page is if they provide attribution.

That's an absurd statement. There are plenty of "real artists" that want to make a living with their work. You can't pay your bills with exposure.

Not OP, but I saw the sarcasm miles away.

No sarcasm intended.

For the real artist, most important thing is to know that people use your work and they like it or it's useful for them.

"Most important", not "only important thing". Read carefully and try to be less salty.

Author here. Thanks everyone for your thoughtful feedback. I intentionally wanted to strike a cooperative tone in putting this story out there. When the largest company in the world features your side hustle in their brand new product, it's an opportunity, not a reason to "lawyer up". You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Would I have preferred attribution and a heads up? Sure. But I'm frankly more i…
