I pay for the amount of bandwidth that my site uses, and will NOT pay for bandwidth to display
graphics on other people's sites / emails / bulletin boards.
Directly linking to graphics on my server is like a slap in the face! I spend my time (and money for the graphic programs)
to create graphics that are free for others to use for non-commercial purposes. I don't have *any* kind words
for those who directly linked to my graphics to display on their web pages, bulletin boards, and in their email. I can (and will) track you down
and have your site deleted or your ISP service discontinued
Please do NOT link directly to the images on this site (also called 'hot linking'). Doing so is bandwidth theft!
DO:
Download/save the graphics to your computer and upload to your server, as you did for your HTML pages. Right click (PC)
or Click + Hold (Mac) over the image you want, and choose "save graphic as ..." to a file folder on your computer.
WebTV users, use the Transloader!
(Note: different systems will use different words, your menu choice might be:
"save graphic as ..." or "save image as ..." or "save background as ...", you need to know your system)
DON'T:
this means you must NOT put the code
IMG SRC="http://www.autumnweb.com/Roxys/imagename.gif"
or anything similar in your HTML coding to display
images that are located on MY server on YOUR web page, or in your emails, or on your bulletin boards.
By doing so, you are a bandwidth thief and deserve any consequences you receive.
If you think I am being unreasonable in this request,
I hope your neighbor hooks up their hose to YOUR faucet to fill their in-ground swimming pool;
or hooks an extension cord to YOUR socket to power their lights;
And YOU get stuck with the bill for all that water or electricity. THAT is what direct linking, hot linking,
(which is bandwidth theft) is equivalent to!
You have NO idea how many great sites have disappeared the past few years because they couldn't
afford the bandwidth cost when people would not respect their request to NOT direct link to graphics, music files, etc.
I really don't want to, but may have to consider removing all the free graphics, as other former free graphic creators have done.
How-To Save Dowload / save the graphics to your computer:
Right click (PC) or Click + Hold (Mac) over the image you want, and choose "save graphic as ..."
("save image as ...", "save background as ...", etc.) to a file folder on your computer.
Then upload the graphics to your OWN web server, as you did for your HTML pages, to use on your web pages, in your emails, etc.
WebTV users (and anyone else), can get free server space at many places.
WebTV users can use the Star Boulevard Transloader (or another transloader)
to upload graphics. There is NO reason to direct link, even though I am told (by a WebTV user) that the WebTV distributors encourage direct linking.
The potential Consequences for not complying with these terms-of-use requests below.
Not obeying the 'terms-of-use' means you will be in violation of copyright. A complaint to your web host, ISP, etc. will have your site / service discontinued.
They ALL have 'terms of service' (whether you read them or not), and copyright violation and theft (bandwidth or otherwise) is listed there.
Roxy's Renditions graphics terms-of-use is clearly stated. A link to this page is on EVERY graphic page
on my websites, so saying 'but I didn't know' will not be believed by your web host, ISP, etc.
