Without any great surprise, the requests and subsequent rants to have Huw
Millington remove his scans of the 2000 dealer catalogue only drew even
greater attention to them.
As a consequence, a quick look around the newsgroups shows several sites are
now hosting those same pictures, all no doubt collected out of folks Internet
caches, once the realised what they had.
Offers to e-mail them abound.
People are offering to host the pictures if people e-mail them to them
So far, I have not seen any requests (at least in public) to have these other
sites remove their scans, yet they are announcing their existence through
exactly the same channels as did Huw originally.
So Huw puts in the hard work, and everyone else gets the hits.
So rather than have effect that the folks who asked for them to be removed had
in mind, there is now 10 times as much publicity and many more sites hosting
the pictures they sought to remove
as Sir Cliff Richard has found, the best way to get to number one in the
charts is to get your record banned (sorry only the brits will understand)
