RE: Fwd: Launch Newsletter -- April 13, 2000

Ya know, for the *gazillionth* time....every time a graphic loads into your
browser, it also lands/sit/stays in your cache until such time as your
cache is emptied....I don't care what kind of fancy schmancy methods you
use to stop the user at the actual site...it's STILL in the
cache....*anyone* who is THAT desperate to steal a graphic will track it
down from there.

Watermark/distort/destroy/tie a bow around the damned thing..it's NOT going
to stop theft...BUT, it will irritate the crap out of the thief because
he/she can't use what they have worked so hard to track down only to find
that they have wasted their time...
