That was years ago. I've since learnt the fundamental wrong of internet-designing is to hot link to other sources. You can get away with that stuff very easily on stupid easyweb accounts where people have no idea what they're doing. I was just like that. Then I did the Frontpage course to internet designing which was all tied into the big writing course I was doing at the time. You can't even attempt to get away with hotlinking pictures on Frontpage as everything is automatically saved into your folder.
The most recent was at the very start of the "Batman" site, when it first came out, and I just gave link to the Steinman page which had the links. Countless sites on the web discussing the musical have done this, even given direct links to the files themselves. Some, however, had the decency to upload it to their own servers. I did this, I saved everything and uploaded it to 4shared. It's better than stealing

I'm trying to do all that. I'm in the process of registering "Don Claude" and some other scripts with about a dozen organizations, that way I can throw the script at anyone and not have to worry about them stealing it.
