I want to see this argument play out in court. He's the one specifically replacing one thing with another under some circumstance. Not the person embedding it or the one hosting the image.

If a man is using a telescope to look into my house to watch the football game, he does not get to be upset when I change the TV to weird inflation porn.

The parasitic website is displaying the image. No iframe, no image.
Both legally and morally, intent matters far more than these technical details.
The parasite has to answer for the material it shows its visitors.
If a butcher delivers outdated meat to nowhere, knowing his van will be hijacked, how can he possibly be blamed when the hijackers sell it to their customers?

#185I run three word games, this stuff happens for all of them. It sucks but I would never do what they did, it's abusive to the people who just googled your game and ended up on the wrong site. I've had teachers and students reach out to me to say they play my game in class every day together. And parents who play with their kids every day, and adult who text their results to each other every day. It sucks if they end u…

#188Ah, I had a similar idea. There were too many bots or vulnerability scanners hitting /wp-admin.php on my blog. It was flooding my access logs with 404s because I don't rock wordpress. Irksome stuff. So I threw up a little 'surprise' for the ahem penetration testers ahem , if you feel brave: https://www.thran.uk/wp-login.php

#189I am absolutely not a lawyer, but I wouldn't do something like this for fear of falling afoul of anti-obscenity laws. For instance, the UK has a cyberflashing law which allots a two year custodial sentence for sending a graphic image (by any means) with intent to cause distress.

OTOH, people accessing the game through iframes may be in breach of the computer misuse act for unauthorised access to content.
