ost_uid0="SSJKarma"]its actually true, but that's what internet was all about !

i mean the internet is a network on which all computers are linked together to get you information, images, videos, sounds and everything else you wanna get !

but stealing...
hell yeah, many people cannot dot heir own pictures or think others are good in themselves, but many sites by now uses a NO RIGHT-CLICK on their page. that simply prevent users to know where the images are stored !

ok example of stealing...
you got a good punisher images on your site, i liked it so i decide to link to it so people can see it more often ! what happens here ? simple, the images is no on my web site, its on yours, so when they see my web site, they open that images from yours, since its not on mine ! so basically you're the one that get his bandwitdh used for that image cause your the one hosting it !

that's why many says this on their pages:"feel free to distribute these images/programs/webpage as you want them to, but be carefull to save them to your own host." in a way that kinda prevent the user to do the above, but with a NO RIGHT-CLICK javascript code, you make sure none knows the location of your images, thus making sure none of your photo's will be linked or downloaded !

conclusion: if you host that image, its your bandwidth who leaves, if you don't then its whoever host the image that is ! as simple as that ![/quote]
i see...but
i just wanna know whenever we post url links of gifs or jpegs whenever we ask for a banner, i wanna know if the forum eats the source bandwith of these gifs/jpegs?
