I sent a note to the Lichtenstein Foundation telling them the site was ripping them off, too.

Isnt this the same image which replaced the smiley in New Zealand and Australia. It looks similar to the image which was stolen by Al Gore.

That traffic image is carrying poisoned metadata. Do not attempt to view it in its original state. I am serious. It has messed up many internet servers. If it is already in your cache, remove it. It is spreading around the world like the virus attached to it.

I think they want us to drive at night and buy a lot of gasoline. All an oil industry plot.

Comment 1) Wow. :huh Read all that. Makes my head spin. I saw some of this on Digg a few days ago but didn't read it fully until now. There are lousy crooks out there who could care less about copyrights, as we too well know. A high-profile case-in-point was this whole mess. She placed her trust in a company that is now apparently too big to care or understand about the very customers that once propelled it to success — instead focused only on profit, then hid behind their wall of lawyers. Only when the big whammy was down on them did they reverse course and do a mop-up job. Hardly damage control at all. Ultimately, there is no real profit without without real caring people running the place and who are not afraid to seize upon a problem and fix it correctly & immediately and then apologize to everyone publicly. If the business owner ain't home — look out. Don't shop there.

Rebekka, I do hope, will emerge triumphant (yet bruised) from the horrible stressful experience and should benefit greatly from the publicity and support from her online fans and friends. GO REBEKKA!


Comment 2) She should immediately switch to a more trustworthy web-based photo service. Ummm, Smugmug comes to mind. :deal
