It's certainly a fine idea and generous offer, Francesco. On the other side
you are international known as responsible for copyright violations,
including a recent USD 3.74 million compensation for Playboy.
No matter whether you placed the stolen pix yourself - you earned money with
them, porns included.
1. I don't feel it sensitive to position LUG pictures on a near-porn,
ex-porn, or "model"-server.
2. I'm afraid, that all LUG pictures, (available) originals included, will
be confiscated, when the next uploads copyright protected pictures on your
server.
Your current invitation at <http://www.5senses.com/index2.asp> from June 14,
1998, 12 h, says:
Looking for Asian girls? We have over 3
gigabytes of the best Asian models in our Asian
Archive.
No so far from your 1996 beginning, isn't it ?
I'd suggest, that LUG members show their pictures on "independent" servers,
who offer between 6 MB and 11 MB free web space per user, i.e. at
http://www.geocities.com
http://www.tripod.com
http://www.xoom.com
They are not porn free, but they at least delete the stuff when they find it.
