Copyright Information

Most of the material on this site is owned by me. Exceptions to this include book covers found in my book reviews section, screenshots taken from various video games, screen captures/logos of movies, and certain photographs, logos and artwork. As far as these are concerned, they are being used for illustrative purposes and aren't an indicator that I claim ownership or intellectual property rights over them or the like. If you own them and object to their presence, email me at the address above, and I'll remove them.

Hot-linking

I've disabled hot-linking of my images. Now, most of the images here are screenshots of copyrighted games or stills from movies, of which I own no rights to at all. What I pay for is the bandwidth used here, and I only get so much a month of it.

I'm indebted to this resource for giving me a good example to disallow hot-linking. It's not foolproof - no method is - but it helps me save bandwidth.

The actual code I use in my .htaccess file is:
