4am

, , , , ,

It's 4am and I've just finished resizing and uploading some photos that I took recently at various Manchester club nights. The photos are nothing special, but you can see some here and some more here.

I like meeting people and taking pictures at club nights so I've started using coxy.me.uk/photos as a hub for photos like this - maybe I'll do it more often.

I've also been linking a lot of photos that aren't mine on my blog lately. Should I hot-link the original image, which is what I'm doing right now, or save a copy of the image onto Opera Community and source the original?

Hot-linking allows the original photographer to have control over removing their images - this has positive and negative points. Re-hosting and sourcing will ensure the blog doesn't break in future - but then, it does infringe on Copyright. It would be interesting to hear comments on this from readers and moderators.

The negative point to you is when the original owner redirects his/her image to Goatsec.xs. :smile:
