Keeping Your Images from Adorning Other Sites Page 5

Custom artwork can result from someone’s effort, and taking without
permission something that another has created is generally accepted as
theft. This article has described a basic way to put your works of
art behind a velvet rope–if you’re so inclined. It won’t stop
determined thieves, but it should hopefully stymy or dissuade the
more casual ones.

Got a Topic You Want Covered?

If you have a particular Apache-related topic that you’d like covered
in a future article in this column, please let me know; drop me
an email at
coar@Apache.Org>.
I do read and answer my email, usually within a few hours
(although a few days may pass if I’m travelling or my mail volume is
‘way up). If I don’t respond within what seems to be a reasonable
amount of time, feel free to ping me again.
