Default The discomusic.com banner on album art

I love this site, but I have one issue. I am currently loading all my mp3's onto my new iPod, which displays album art unlike my last one. Of course, try and find graphics to go with a lot of rare disco tracks (especially 12 inch singles, where the actual closeup label is perfect) and you can't find them anywhere - anywhere but here that is, in the great resource that this site has. Of course, all the graphics here have the logo banner slabbed across them - making them unusable for this purpose. Are people really stealing these images? If so, and I am missing something Bernie, please tell me...let me repeat that I love discomusic.com, and am not looking to do something that would hurt this site in any way. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Jam,
I appreciate your comments. Unfortunately, the images were being stolen, but also being hot-linked by other sites which caused bandwidth costs that I had to pay-not them. I would love not having to add the banner as it takes a lot of time, but it is the only thing I have found that works.

Bernie: thanks for clearing that up, and I THOUGHT that was the reason. What do you suppose the people who were stealing the images were using them for? My guess is that they were being used to make bootleg recordings.

Bernie, I had never thought about sites hot-linking to images here, but I completely understand what you're saying. That being said, I don't blame you one bit.

I guess some of my mp3's will have to do without!

Thanks again Bernie, this site has really been a great source of reference and memories over the last several years to me.
