Is a Megabyte or two really a topic these times? I can buy a 3Terabyte harddrive for 50 bucks and change on Amazon, and that will hold 3 BILLION photos of 1MB each. And I suppose if you buy them by the truckload, as surely the server farms do, it will be fraction of that.
Let see, if I would upload 100 such pictures every minute, day and night, it will take 57 years until I fill ONE $50,- disk.
No, I don't feel that I am abusing the hospitality of the server by uploading images in full resolution
