Some of you may be awayre of this already, but I just learned, and thought I should pass on to other graphics makers, that there are people picking up the LJ picture feed (didn't know about that either? yeah.  me too.) to pirate your graphics for reposting in mass, without credit, for their skeezy friends to take.  It also steals your bandwidth.  Every single photo that's posted, whether it's an icon batch, or a photo of your and you baby just home from the hospital, goes onto the feed for anyone to tap into.  One of the jerks stealing off of the feed is

iconscraper (he's probably psyched about all the attention he's been getting, to tell you the truth). The good news is that there's a way to block your journal or community from getting onto the feed.

here's how to do it
