Well, the company that was doing the image scraping says it was a storm in a teacup. They wouldn't lie, would they? :) Seriously, it does seem unlikely that they would be grabbing full-size images - the bandwidth and storage costs would be enormous and I can't see they'd get much benefit. The original post on thomashawk.com made no mention of how they determined that full-size images were being cached, rather than just thumbnails. Perhaps they just assumed this was the case. On the other hand, I never trust any business that anonymizes their whois information, as both imagelogr.com and domainlogr.com do. Something shady's going on. This is why I never put my images up on a place like Flickr. I keep my images on my own site, in a separate image directory with a robots.txt exclusion to keep search engines out. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
