I thought you guys and gals might be interested in the reply I got from Rick Gardner when I challenged him on CP4567.JPG. I didn't throw a tantrum, just asked him to remove the image and explained why. No muss, no fuss.
I confirmed today that the image has indeed been removed, which tells me that at least maintaining his website is something he takes seriously. I also started to go through his site image by image to verify that no more of my images appear. I'm lucky in that I have gobs of disk space and a T1 line available to me at work...so I was able to connect using FTP and suck down an entire directory at his site in little more than an hour. Then I just browsed thumbnails I created using Thumbs Plus, looking for familiar images. I did one directory this afternoon and found nothing more of mine. ...John Reay ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Thu, 8 Jan 1998 06:56:16 -0700 To: John Reay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Rick Gardner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Copyrighted images on your site >Rick, > >Please remove CP4567.JPG and any other images carrying my copyright >notice from your website.
