Mozart, you are clueless.
If you had bothered to actually look at the underlying code on the page, (i.e. right-click, view source) you would see that the graphic that is linked in the thread is "linked", not "cut and pasted". That means everyone here is viewing it while it is located on the original server. It is not "cut and pasted". That is a big difference, whether or not you understand that.
