What if one copies them into their own PB or other account and goes from there?
It's pretty much good manners that one should use one's own photobucket account for posting photographs of anything, but that's just me.
freerepublic allows photographs of primitives to be posted, but they can't be posted stealing my fellow alum Skins's bandwidth; this had been an issue of contention between Jim Robinson (owner of freerepublic) and David Allen (owner of Skins's island) some years ago, and was resolved with their agreement that neither side would tolerate stealing bandwidth from the other.
Our old home had, or still has, the rule that NO photographs of primitives were, or are, allowed.
But again, the Bostonian Drunkard is a public figu--er, buffoon, what with being a
New York Times best-selling author and a prominent television celebrity, and so I leave it to the administrators to determine the policy specifically involving the Bostonian Drunkard solely.
Sometimes someone has posted a photograph of a non-public-figured primitive here, and that was deleted by a moderator or administrator. Nearly all the primitives are not prominent public figu--er, buffoons, and we being decent and civilized people, we should leave them alone in that respect.
I would never, for example, tolerate posting a photograph of Pedro Picasso, a primitive who is not a public figu--er, buffoon, any more than I would like to see a photograph of franksolich, also not a public figure, posted on Skins's island.
Links to self-posted photographs of primitives, even obscure ones, are fine; but only the links, nothing more.
The subway cat, who is due any time to post photographs of that parade she was in (as a float) last weekend, the same time as the Bostonian Drunkard's wedding, is a case even murkier. The subway cat is not a public figu--er, buffoon, but at the same time the subway cat promiscuously posts photographs of herself all over the internet.
I dunno what to do about the subway cat.
