when I set up a search for free wall paper this site came up, A friend of mine was helping me set up this little home page I have -im not to computer literate- and then I found something I really liked and thinking that it was cool asked my friend to put that shit up for me. now that I went to go and check out my site the papers gone and an add is up. I was kinda upset cause I thought it was some kind of trick, but then after comming into this site and checking it out, I don't see any signs saying feel free to download copy. so basically I'm just wondering what the deal is... emahjin_bliss swirlen

I don't believe you can link directly from caedes which is probably what your friend did. Download the wallpaper, and run it from your server.

Yes, directly linking to images on the site is very bad because it sucks up bandwidth that would be better used by people actaully going to my site. However that doesn't mean that your free to just copy the image over to your own server and use it. You have to have permission from the author to do that becauase it is essentially redistribution (often without due credit being given).

So the best idea is to FIRST ask for permission, and then put it on your own server.
