Thanks to you both!
-----------------------
More tales from my archive.
A barefoot runner blog took a foot study I'd done and was using it with out credit/permission. They had info on who to contact and so I asked for a link and credit and the guy responded 'Oh, sorry — I'll do that.' I waited a few months and would occasionally remind him about it and he just wasn't taking it seriously apparently.
So one day I got pissed and sent him a 72 hour legal notice under DCMA and it was removed the same day. I sent him a thank you and he responded with a short pissy reply.

Another time a Canadian political blogger took a caricature I'd done of a Manitoba minister and cropped off the top & my signature at the bottom— and scraped off the title and copyright info from the file. He had a blind ICAN address so after I looked for who to contact for a bit — I just let it go. Fortunately, the last time I checked that post was no longer available
Another website used a figure drawing I'd done to compare porn and art — and color studies I've done often seem to wind up on sites about color theory.
Though I take it as a compliment — I also try to protect my copyrights when I'm able.
-------------------------------
That's true Joseph. I also notice that unless an image is featured or people already have a following it's seems hard to get noticed there. Still, as you say the trade off probably makes it worth any license risk.
As for Maury — I wouldn't be so flip about such a serious matter:
Judge: 'Can you prove your allegation?'
Me: Shows Fertility idol pic.
Judge: 'Joseph Cow, You ARE the father!'![[Image: party.png]](http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/images/smilies_new/party.png)

Thanks so much PE — I appreciate that. I'd been looking for an update to your CD sketchbook so I'm glad to know where I can find some of your latest. That first pencil is soooo cool!
I also appreciate your thoughts about AS — I feel better about it now for sure.
I hear some people saying they get a lot of commission from Reddit — but as you said those always seem to be fan art thangs.

Man, I can really write novels can't I?![[Image: blushing.png]](http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/images/smilies_new/blushing.png)
Anywho, thank you both again!
