I am happy to elaborate Tonya - and thanks for your patience during the move.
A redirect (as above) or link to a site hosting the material (whether audio, video, jpgs., whatever) does not constitute bandwidth theft. If we are linked to a site that is serving an image FOR The Motherboards (as in the "image" UBB code below) and that site hasn't given permission, then we are "stealing the bandwidth" - in other words, they are paying the bill for the image we are seeing. Make sense?
There are basically two kinds of bandwidth theft - one is rather innocent and concerns real enthusiasm about an image or personality - such as when a fan site for one of our NYC Girls links to one of our pictures for a few days to discuss it. The other is when a porn site with enormous traffic lifts one of our NYC Girls pictures and has us suddenly serving an extra 10 gigabytes of transfer, which could cost easily an extra $50 a week. That kind is rude and is usually dealt with immediately - either by changing the name of the file or by replacing it with a graphic that reads "bandwidth theft."
Hope that's clear. That said, we are open to the continuing quest for online representation of ArtMaker artists, and glad that the discussion of how to best do so is underway.
