As would I, and since some images that I own are on Boz's site, I'm happy to see him discouraging unauthorized use from that source. I cheerfully gave Boz permission to use certain images; I don't want to see them (mis)appropriated without my say-so. I'm sure Boz feels the same way about the fruits of his labours. (So far I don't know of any of *mine* being swiped; maybe I should do a search through eBay now and then to check?) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
