For something like an image hosting or pastebin site, isn't that possible a privacy concern?

I'm curious, what is the standard practice for the storage of static media - where are the static files (text/images) stored on the server, and how are the appropriate config files that concern that media set up?

If you don't want the world to see your files, actually stop them from being accessed instead of politely asking robots to not index them.
