Peter, Denis, Steve, and others,
After seeing Peter's original posting, I checked the sites listed and
discovered that this
person was also using 2 of my photos as well. This person never asked for
permission
and certainly did not credit me for my photos.
It is always a shock to confront a person who has a sociopath's sense of
ethics. this is small potatoes ("papas chicos" as i like to say, foolishly)
but.....i have seen mail order catalogs which have lifted entire pages of
my drawings from a book i wrote a long time ago! ALSO drawings made by
tracing in ink, over photographs from that book....in yet another catalog.
I never confronted the villains, but nor did I forget who they are.
and i would have been happy to give them permission to use the drawings for
free.
it is baffling. But one thing about criminals, is they do not expect to get
caught, and if they DO get caught it is always because the COPS DID NOT
PLAY FAIR.
this is the sum and substance of much criminal defence in court, this last
part.
I, certainly, in the abstract, wish a terrible pox to befall anyone who
uses somebody else's stuff like that.
