So get yourself some web space and make a gallery to call your
very own. Make the files as large as you want.
Make sure you put lots of meta tags into the page headers to
attract as many search engines as possible.
After all, you want to communicate your art.
Wait 6 months then do a name search at the Lycos image
repository and see what they have lifted from you.
Then come back and tell us how happy you are that your art is
being communicated via an offshore server, and there is not a
damned thing you can do about it because some dumbass judge in
California decided that under the reasonable use clause in the
American copyright law they can get away with it.
Thats what I ran into when I had to police it for the PUG.
It took me no small effort to get them to shut down the Komkon
deep links too.
