[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 286769, member: 13090"] Yes, it would be okay. The[I] general rule[/I] is that it's rude (at the very least) to post someone's work here, or elsewhere, INLINE (meaning the photo or other work, is embedded in a post without linking back to the original source). The [I]reasoning[/I] for this is that posting inline robs the originator of due recognition for their original work as well as hits to the(ir) site that hosts the work (and hits are what ad-revenue is based on so there is a potential monetary loss as well). On top of that, if you hot-link an image -- meaning you imbed the link in such a fashion as to have the image show up in the post by linking to it -- you are using the bandwidth of the hosting site but without generating the click-traffic for the hosting site that would be beneficial for ad-revenue calculations. Copyright restrictions are a whole 'nother matter on top of all of this. [COLOR=#ffffff]...[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
