Let's be realists here .... Netscape's technology allows anyone to 'borrow'
ANY graphic
on ANY page very simply. Consider it the highest form of flattery to have
one of your graphics or backgrounds used by someone else. Unless you work
the (c) 1995 by John Doe all rights reserved bug into the graphic some way
how is someone to know YOUR image wasn't borrowed from somewhere else or
isn't in the public domain? Just because it's on your page doesn't
automatically assign ownership.

BTW - here's how to 'borrow' images inside a page using Netscape:
click on an image or anywhere near it; then click the right mouse button and
act on the menu which allows you to save the image to your own computer.

To appropriate the background AND the images go to the page you want, clear
your disk cache of all other images and then reload the page. You'll find
the background and other images in your cache directory with the *.moz
tagline. Just call them up with Netscape or Lview or Photoshop.

While it does cost you a little disk space on your home page, overall your
web page will speed up, and I think you are a better net neighbor becausse
you are NOT using everyone's net resources to go out and continually call an
image from someone else's server in the ether.

I fully realize we are talking about copyright issues here and that's
another issue for another day.
