I still stand by the right to post links to pages on the 'wrong' side of
firewalls.  If the page is in the public domain, then that is it...and
LUGNET should not be chastising people for posting links to them either.

You could copy those images to geocities and link to them and they'd still
be leaks.

Just because the stupid server is serving the JPEGs and their techs don't
(apparently) know the first thing about how to protect access to them from
"prying eyes" doesn't mean that it's not still invasive to their corporate
privacy.  Until the products are actually announced, isn't it still a cheap
leak?

This assumes that we know what their policy is for announcing sets. Getting a
2000 catalog in a Snowspeeder set isn't really  "announcing" the 2000 sets,
either, is it? One must assume, absent other statements, that putting the jpegs
on the site is their way of announcing the sets. Who knows what they're
thinking? Actually, since its about 5am in the morning, so they're probably not
thinking about anything too coherently.
