Here’s a much EASIER and effective way to fix this problem in Firefox.

You are probably already running the Firefox pluggin “ad block plus”.

AdBlock Plus lets you block images, so… just right click any image in Flickr, and select “block image”. Done. You now blocking the “spaceball.gif” image from being displayed over top of the image you want.

You can save the real image, copy links etc. Life is good.

If you don’t already have AdBlock Plus for Firefox, get the pluggin here: [addons.mozilla.org]

Understandable about the copyright thing, but if you aren’t going to use it for your own gain, let’s just say I love to sketch nice photos as practice for drawing skills, why Can’t u just download it? so later when not connected to web (laptop)…..
I wouldn’t be using it for any gain, they shouldn’t post it if they didn’t want to share it!
sincerely why not?

To show people how to break the law borders on criminal activity. However, for those of you who illegally download peoples photographs, you are breaking international & national laws. The photographer owns the copyright of each picture they take. You are bound by law to ask permission to use the photo. Most photographers will allow free usage on the net as long as it is not for profit. You are taking the bread from other peoples tables. Would you like it done to you. Please contact the photographer as the photographer, should he discover your illegal usage of his picture can legally bill you and demand payment. This is successful in almost all cases.

Search the picture’s title inside the page source, or the field “description” (”img src” is next to it).

There is the MSI (Microsoft Installer) and the Windows Classic one. The MSI is supposed to be more geared towards Windows, and it supposed to keep track of changes better (I think).

You could do that, but it might be a bit tedious if you have to do it frequently.
