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.
