On one hand it's cool that they liked it so much, on the other they use it to poke fun at Bill Hunt and didnt send me bags of cash.

Thank God the headline of that picture isn't "Why is Ron's head
shining like a beacon?"

You would hope that a website like that would at least ask and
credit you for the picture, Sam.

Well, at least they linked it instead of just embedding it. But yeah, it sucks they did that, especially for a use you probably wouldn't have approved of (and that may be WHY they did it).

I hate to say it, Sam, but maybe you need to start watermarking your images.

Nevah! All my images are Creative Commons licensed, Attribution, Share Alike, Non Commercial. The beauty of this is that I don't have to mark up my images with watermarks, real people can make free prints and derivative works with it, and if any commercial goons steal my work then I can sue their pants off! =)

I'da given blessing to FWC if they had only asked, for free. I gotta check my mail to see if they replied to my comment yet tho.

Edit: Well, yea there was an email apologizing for not giving credit, and I see that now they changed it to a link to my flickr page and not an embedded steal as it originally had been (I see you caught that as well earlier). For the record, I'm not cool with busting Bill Hunt's chops like this, but I do see the humor in what they are saying.

Not sure what you are questioning Mike. If its giving credit, above the image is "Photo taken by Sam Posten" and the image itself links to the flickr page where it originated. If it's something else, please explain.

This image is now the lead photo at Ms. McDougal's Wikipedia page through inquiry to me by veteran editor Anon E. Mouse. I granted Wikipedia commercial rights just cause I thought it was cool to do so =)
