What is direct linking?    What is Copyright?

 The terms of use are quite straight forward. I had some issue, with people getting all tight about the fact that my site was password gated. Things about how my blinkies/graphics can't be that great to have to protect them like that, and they'd just end up getting stolen anyways. 

I like to think that I at least prevented some stealing. I wasn't out to save the world or anything by having my site need pre-registration, simply just to prevent theft. It seems no matter what one tries though, it's inevitable that graphics will be stolen, and put up for display elsewhere, where it's taken - 'legally' from that 'owner'. To try and be fair and because to some degree I don't really care anymore... this site is no longer password protected.

The rules are:

• My graphics are still LINKWARE, this means you need to provide a linked either with the logo provided, or a text link, back to Blinktastic Blinkies  http://www.geocities.com/blinktasticblinkie wherever my graphics are displayed - that means on each page they are displayed.
  

• My graphics are not to be used in swaps, forum, for adoption on your site  or message boards. Unless a link back to Blinktastic Blinkies http://www.geocities.com/blinktasticblinkie  is given. 
  

• My graphics should not be re-colored, or changed in anyway after you download them. You may not change the words of any of my graphics either. 
  

• Adoption trinkets have their own logos, which need to be used, in these cases there is no using a text link - you must use the logo provided.
  

• You can not hot link from my site, geocities doesn't allow this, nor can you upload my graphics to your site to allow others to hot link my graphics from you.
  

• My graphics all start with blinktastic_***.gif/jpg this is to help you remember where you got the image from. I suggest you create a folder with my url (ie: geocities_blinktasticblinkies) to keep all things you download from my site in. 
  

• I really prefer you have the No Right Click Script and Disable Image Toolbar Script on your site. 
  

• If you have any special needs, please feel free to email me (remove no Spam) and I will accommodate most requests.
