For instance, I&#8217;ve noticed recently that some websites are using my Antigua photos. This is perfectly fine. I&#8217;m not selling these photos, so I wouldn&#8217;t&#8217;ve put them up if I didn&#8217;t expect some people might like them enough to make them their own.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; What I <i>do<\/i> have a problem with is people linking directly to my graphics. This is called bandwidth leeching, where I am paying my server to provide you with your graphic. This is <i>not<\/i> fine. It&#8217;s even worse when some people have been using my photos for their webpage backgrounds! When I saw this, I knew a line had been crossed. And since then I&#8217;ve been adding various URLs and domains to my server&#8217;s Bandwidth Protector lists. This means your website or domain is unable to leech off my images, and your link becomes broken.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Perhaps this sounds unfair.  But there&#8217;s a simple way around it. If you want to continue using my pictures and photos, simply right-click on them, save them, and host them yourself.\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Let me state up front I do not have a problem with people using the images on my website.
