   It's simple, if you post an url to a portion of a site and it is only that   
   portion that you want accessed it would be prudent to inform people of that   
   fact, bearing in mind of course that you would have to be pretty naive to   
   think that such instructions would be adhered to, but at least that would   
   add some weight to the complaints that you now bring, no matter how absurd   
   they may be, so did you include restrictions on viewing when you invited   
   visitors?

   I still don't see the problem , I too have visited sites from a particular   
   link, found it of interest, and subsequently trimmed the url to see if other   
   parts of that complex are as interesting, if the owner of that site didn't   
   want visitors or at least only wanted select people viewing select parts,   
   there are ways and means I am sure of achieving that end,  another example   
   is Acquisition p2p, that has a feature that allows the host to be browsed,   
   if you don't want people to have that ability then steps have to be taken to   
   prevent it, if you don't then it is hardly reasonable to complain when   
   people use the function, you must surely have been aware that that which you   
   are now complaining about was possible, in fact given your relationship with   
   some posters it must have been obvious that it 'would' happen.

   Again I don't doubt it, most images originated on some web site or other why   
   did you think that you would be immune?   
   Had someone managed to add to your site, sure I would agree with you 100%,   
   but to download from it that which is downloadable...I see no problem!   
   As to the images themselves did any copyright protection apply?
