Just the display on your monitor is puting it in the cache and enough to get access by browsing the cache of my PC.Some time ago I was a member of the fotocommunity.de and shared my photos and knowlegde  on this website, but later there was an unbelivieble mass of images which where ilegal used, once as samble for kitten - painting, then as "free download" from other websites, on comercial sites as poster etc.. This let me stopping to post the best images! Just a few were asking that they may use it as screenimage at their pc or in school, nothing against.I use my pictures for speeches at ornithological societys e.g. Birdlife Austria, or OTOP at the Universtity of Gdansk, etc. Sometimes for publishing by birdmagazines.I do not have mercy with thieves! When an invoice don´t show an impression than for shure the letter of my lawyer.</blockquote>
