Well, the company that was doing the image scraping says it was a
storm in a teacup. They wouldn't lie, would they? :)

Seriously, it does seem unlikely that they would be grabbing full-size
images - the bandwidth and storage costs would be enormous and I can't
see they'd get much benefit. The original post on thomashawk.com made
no mention of how they determined that full-size images were being
cached, rather than just thumbnails. Perhaps they just assumed this
was the case.

On the other hand, I never trust any business that anonymizes their
whois information, as both imagelogr.com and domainlogr.com do.
Something shady's going on.

This is why I never put my images up on a place like Flickr. I keep my
images on my own site, in a separate image directory with a robots.txt
exclusion to keep search engines out.
