Steal my bandwidth, will you...
Oct. 3rd, 2003 05:09 pmThe offending site: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=bwlrgrl03
I have discovered that you are using an image from my site on your xanga site
(Dragon Across the Sands), and I'd like to request that you host this image yourself
IF you have permission from Marie Bird to use it. I also know that Marie would
appreciate a link back to my site (www.ellenmilliongraphics.com) if you continue to
use this image, so that people can support her artwork by purchasing products with
it.
Please let me know what you intend to do! I will be removing/altering the image as
hosted on my site if you do not remedy the situation. I would be happy to provide
contact information for Marie if you do not know how to get in touch with her.
Be well,
Ellen Million

Was that image-replacement too mean?

Unlike, say... guestbook spamming, which basically makes the spammers look really childish.
