No- this is what we are discussing: having the ability to add URL's to the gallery. If the URL's change the picture disappears. I have stolen nothing, for it is not there anymore. If I grab the picture and reupload it, and the owner of the image takes it down from their site for whatever reason then they have lost control.

But anyway, I see you are trying to justify it by blaming the victims for not protecting themselves.
Stealing is always a crime, in every legal and moral aspect, whether content or bandwidth, and it doesn't stop being a crime just because by presenting it from another point of view.

you are defining this as "stealing," but I do not accept that definition. I think that reposting a picture, rather than providing a direct link to the URL is the bigger "crime" here. Also- I am not "blaming the victims," I just said I would have little sympathy for anyone who tosses their resources around so carelessly if in fact they are that important to them.
