Just been looking through my webserver stats and discovered that there are several people out there linking to images without my permission. I've decided to leave the decision as to how to handle this down to you guys. So, do I:
a) Take the image in question down, given that it's already somewhere more accessible on the website
b) Replace it with something extremely pornographic in order to teach people that it's not nice to steal my bandwidth
c) Shrug and let them get on with it.
The image I have a problem with in particular is my photo of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slovakia's laptop playing the original badger animation at a CSS meet in Manchester. It isn't the one that's on affordable-wombles, this one's in my home folder. The reason it's problematic is that it has been spotted by google and is currently ranked about 4th in a google images search for the word "badger". I don't mind google spidering my images, but I do mind when people just nick them, or worse, link to them and steal my bandwidth.
[edit] Hmm... interesting. It looks like google's lost interest in my badgers. That could turn out to be a huge blessing...
