I'm mainly interested in having "persistence" in the Pics that I attach to a "how-to" or a post that can benefit from a Pic rather than 1000 words. By uploading my Pics to the AF Gallery (which is "free") I'm hoping that they will persist longer than I wish to keep them on my personal Internet Provider (IP) server. You have to remember that Pics uploaded to the Gallery are watermarked by Automotive Forums so you lose your rights to the material (the catch in "free"). I'm not in the copyright business so I don't care.
Not being a lawyer, I don't know what the ramifications are if you post images of copyrighted material in your Pics. Such as, direct copies of wiring diagrams or graphics from a published maintenance manual. I would avoid it!
