Hello!

:)

This is a notice regarding the dinky little insert picture icon:
insertimage.gif


Please use it wisely. Direct linking is a copyright violation if you have not asked for and been granted permission by the person who took the photo or the person or company who owns the copyright.

Also linking to an image stored on another site increases the bandwidth use of that site, even though their site is not being viewed in its intended form. Bandwidth is a commodity. Unauthorized use can increase the maintenance costs of the website hosting the image.

ibiza-voice.com - have specifically asked that you stop using their images in your posts. Please respect their wishes. We shall be enforcing this if necessary. Thank you.

EXCEPTIONS!

www.dontstayin.com & www.tilllate.com

DSI & Tilllate have granted permission to use their logofied photos.

If you want to link to a photo on DSI or Tilllate, right click with your mouse, scroll down to properties, then click that.

Copy and paste the address/URL (eg http://pix.dontstayin.com.123456789.jpg) into the appropriate field.

Please do not use all or most of the photos in a series. Link back to the page where the rest of the photos can be found.


Fair use

If the photo is not one you have taken yourself, please credit the photographer. We're less likely to get into trouble.

You should also provide a link to the original page.
