This is Bergy - Sue I removed the post because it was not Peter Rabbit that came up but a label that said Copyright by Gosh. We have to be careful with the coyright photos. Sorry

no problem.
Is hotlinking an issue? The images are not stored here, so should not be a copyright issue. The images still remain on the originating sever.
Can admin clarify this for us, do you think?

I notified admin of this with a question regarding the copyright thing, just so we can be sure. I always thought it was ok to link the image, just not copy/paste it here or upload it to the database.
Here is the question I sent:
Can admin clarify an issue of using hotlinks in the forums please?
The images are not actually "stored" but we format the url so that the image *appears* on the page, so in essence we are looking at both zazz and the originating image's site at the same time.
Do you have clear knowledge of the copyright law surrounding this?
Thanks.

We do not believe this is an issue because the image is not being taken and posted on our server. We will look further to clarify.

Thank-you. We sure do not want to cause any problems with our fun game

I hadn't thought it was an issue. But if Bergy was worried, I wanted to make sure it was o.k.
Glad admin decided to clarify. It would be unfortunate to accidentally violate law just while having fun.
Good to know we can carry on!
