Facts
1. The site is free (not a subscription site) and has no password
protection.
2. The site owner did not have a notice posted stating he
did not want people downloading the images.
3. The site owner does not own the copyright to the images
which means he's posting them illegally anyway.
So why did he prevent access via download managers? Probably
because he did not want people sucking up his bandwidth.
So why do you keep bugging me about this issue? Probably
because you are an annoying prick. ;-)
