Hello. We are trying to find sites that are embedding our links and slowing everything down for our regular users. 80-90% of people on the site are embeds and are really destroying the site and we need to do something about it. We have gone to great lengths to stop the GK Plugins and stop the bad referrers, but now there are just a lot of sites that are embedding our links and they don't show up at all in our logs. We would appreciate any help in identifying sites that do embeds from sites even when the hosting site does not allow it. Thanks in advance.

You see all the streaming boxes being sold?

If your video host is supported/used then you make 0% revenue from advertisements.

I don't think that our site is used, but we should look into it. We have had this problem in the past with different sites, but we were able to stop most of it. Now it has gotten out of control the last month or two.

We have shut down the site until we can find the sites that are embedding. Embedding our links we consider an attack on our site and will be treated as such. We are not going to provide 90% of our bandwidth to sites that want to steal bandwidth. Unfortunately this means that no one is able to watch anything on our site or on the sites using our links for embedding.

I think you can disable embedding and hot-linking via htaccess. Might be a good solutions for you. Do a Google search about it, is quite easy.
