Webtyveri/Direct Linkning vs Copyright

I udlandet kaldes "web-tyveri" for "Direct linkning"
og/eller "Bandwidth Thefts"

Dér har de længe haft problemet - og især mange gode gif-sider er én efter én blevet tvunget til at lukke ned.
Enten bliver de simpelthen smidt ud af deres Hostmaster's, i og med at de har al for stor trafik på deres billeder/giffer - eller de lukker, fordi de ikke mere har råd til at betale for denne mertrafik.
-
Og det er jo ærgerligt for os alle sammen, hvis gif-side efter gif-side må lukke ned...
For hvor skal man så hente billeder til sine hjemmesider etc.?
Man må jo som regel gerne tage af billederne, bare det
gøres på den rigtige måde!

Hvad er så egentlig web-tyveri/ - direct-linkning/
båndvidde-tyveri af billeder?

Ved direct-linkning belaster du altså en andens server/domæne. (som ejeren/ejerne betaler dyrt for.)
Og så siten bl.a. åbner langsommere og langsommere, fordi der er så mange som directlinker til giffer el. a. - og i værste fald kan ejeren altså risikere at blive smidt ud af sin hostmaster - eller bliver tvunget til at lukke sit site, fordi det bliver for dyrt at have den på nettet....

Well, en del directlinker jo nok i ren uvidenhed - ved faktisk ikke, at dét de gør er forkert etc...
Men der er faktisk også rigtig mange som blæser højt og
flot på at webkopiering/direct-linkning er forkert!!
Et er i hvert fald givet - direct-linkning alias webkopiering/
bandwith theft er virkelig en stor pestilens på nettet!!!

COPYRIGHT:

Som helhed må man påregne at alt på nettet er copyrighten - om det så drejer sig om giffer, pictures, glober etc. - idet én eller anden jo har lavet de billeder man tager/bruger.
Men mange steder er billeder etc. free, (eller kan hentes som tubes) og det er altså tilladt at bruge løs af dem, når man vel af mærke gemmer billedet/billederne på den rigtige måde! *S*
Andre kunstnere igen tillader også, at man tager af deres grafik og bruger til glober, giffer, baggrunde m.v. på/til sin egen hjemmeside, men ikke til kommercielle formål!
Man kan som regel læse i FAQ på de fleste store grafik-steder om ejeren tillader dette eller ej  - og om de kræver Credits hvis man bruger af deres grafik.
Men igen, er det tilladt, så skal man altså stadig gemme på den rigtige måde... *S*

Der er dog også en del steder som stærkt frabyder sig,
at folk bare hugger løs af deres grafik, pic's, glober el. a. - og dét skal man i højeste grad respektere.

Webtheft/Direct Linkning vs Copyright

Abroad web-theft is called "Direct linking" and/or "Bandwidth Theft"

The problem has been known for a long time - and especially many good gif-pages have been forced to close one after another. Either they have been shut down by the Hostmaster´s, because they had too much traffic on theirpictures/gif-animations - or they close, because they don´t have the money to pay for this extended traffic on their page.

It is very sad for all of us, if one gif-page after another have to close... Where else will you get pictures etc. for your own homepage etc? Usually it is allowed to take the pictures, but it must be done the right way!

What is web-theft/ direct-linking/ bandwidth-theft of pictures?

By direct-linking are you loading on another persons server/domain (which the owner/s pay a lot of money for).
And when the site opens more and more slowly, because so many people are direct-linking til gif-animations or something else - and in the worst case can the hostmaster shut down the page - or the owner of the page can be forced to close the site, because it gets too expensive to have it on the internet...

Well, some people probably direct-link, because they don´t know - they actually don´t know, that what they are doing is wrong... But actually there are also many people, who simply doesn´t care about, that direct-linking is wrong!!! One thing is absolutely certain - direct-linking / web-copying / bandwidth theft is really a big thorn in the flesh on the internet!!!

Copyright:

As a totality one must presume, that everything on the internet has copyright - whether it concerns gif´s, pictures, globes or something else - because somebody has made the pictures you take / use. But many places pictures etc. are free (or can be picked up as tubes) and it is allowed to use them, if you save them the right way! *S*
Again - other artists allow, that you take their graphics and use it for globes, gif-animations, back-grounds etc. on / for your own homepage, but not for commercial reasons!
Ususally on most of the big graphic-pages you can read under FAQ, if the owner allows this or not - and if they want credits, if you use their graphics.
But again, if it is allowed, you still must save it the right way... *S*

There is also many pages, where it is strongly prohibited to just steal their graphics, pictures, globes or anything else - and that must absolutely be respected!

That is why:

Respect the rules people have on their homepages.
Respect it, if people have written f.ex. "don´t copy my pictures" - "don´t link directly to my pictures"

If you still have doubts about, how to save a picture and why it is so awful to direct-link - then visit www.webmaster-team.webbyen.dk - if you scroll down, there is a link to Anti direct-linking alliance.
On this page (in Danish) you can also find links to other good sites about how to place gif´s and pictures correct on your own page *S*
