| reply to superman Re: The danger of linking to images you don't own
said by superman :what does that do? It says that when a request for the file dcp_0252.jpg (Kasia's pretty lake photograph) arrives other than when referred from her own website, it sends a different image: /images/ebayscam.jpg. This means the image works fine in her own gallery, but those who leech the image get something else.
I suppose it could have been more fine-tuned by looking for "match eBay referrer" rather than "anything other than my own referrer", so this breaks any other links that might be out there now.
