Heyya,
I totally acknowledge where that pic came from. This issue of recycled images is a tricky one- but surely if it really is a problem let me know and I can change it. Kinda of think of these retro manual pics as part of the creative commons though. I definitely feel differently about originally generated artwork.
I reminded by an incident we had about 1.5 years ago with the Tiny Picture Club. Another film club, from Seattle, that shall remain nameless, took our logo (a hand designed Superman sign with the number 8 where the "S" would normally go) directly from our website and put it on their own. When we contacted them about it they made a very feeble attempt to doctor it so it was just tiny bit different. What can you do? Kinda bummed me out though- we invested a lot in that logo. Welcome to the information era, huh.

Yeah, there was an angelfire website that had verbatim copy and pasting of my content and they were purporting to be a super 8 site. I complained to no avail. That pissed me off. But then, in the greater scheme, I was flattered they could not do their own content and used mine and figured it still advanced the common good (more awareness of film).
My pics and text show up in ebay posts all the time. I no longer bother complaining. I try to make my images irritating for non-owners by generally pasting a logo of my http://www.outriggercanoe.com website on there and also blowing out one of the color channels so bad that it is not representative of the camera! I like doing that!
So, just to be clear, I was just giving you a bad time in a very friendly type way - it's a Canadian thing.
Cheers,
Mike
