Sorry mate, but you have that all wrong.
You have uploaded your photos because you want them to be seen.
You have disabled sharing & downloading, which is your right.
If anyone feels your photos are worthy of sharing with a wider audience and directs them to
your own gallery or website, they don`t need your permission, and are respecting your rights and restrictions; in fact you should be grateful that they respect your work sufficiently to go to the effort of linking to your own gallery. It would be just the same as linking to the
'Look inside' feature of a book for sale rather than copying and pasting chapters & photos online.
I would apologise to Chafford for the copyright theft suggestion, it`s completely the opposite!
When posting photos from someone else`s site, I will always add a credit & linkback to their site as a matter of courtesy, and if asked, would remove. [
