For years now, CBC - the Canadian public broadcaster - has embedded a graphic - served from Podnews's website - in theirs.
I see hundreds of hits a day for this - and, therefore, hundreds of IP address details for visitors to the CBC website, which is a bit icky.
Even though it's been a 404 error for years, I've decided to bring the file back again to see if I can stop them - because I seemingly have the capability of publishing a message on the CBC website.
