In this context: suppose you wanted to create an eye-popping web page, but you had no artistic skills whatsoever. Suppose you decided that nothing could spruce up your web page more than an image of the smiling, debnair fellow at http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/ images/scs1.jpg. So you use an <img> tag on your web page specifying src="http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/images/scs1.jpg". Now, not only have you violated poor scs's copyright, but you're asking him (or his ISP, eskimo.com) to pay for the bandwidth for every one of your web page's visitors to load that image.

What I was wondering is, what's "IAWTC"? ("I Agree With This Comment, maybe, but d. usually has much droller observations.)

According Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia), it's either that or "I Am the World Trade Center".
