I APPRECIATE YOUR COMING IN HERE-BECAUSE I'D LIKE YOUR HELP, PLEASE.
I was notified (in a very nice/friendly manner) by Christine from a major site/magazine
that one of my manipulated images used the work of a copyrighted artist that they feature, and,
that the manipulation was not to the point that it could be construed to be a
"NEW WORK" and so, the copyright was very much in violation and I needed
to remove the image. (it has gone bye-bye)


Now, I want to repeat, she was not Snarky about it, and,
showed herself as a true Lady in the way she handled it, and as a caring
person who knew I'd put a lot of work into this site,and she looked
thru it, and made suggestions to me of other areas I needed to re-examine.
In Truth, it was the WAY she spoke softly-and kept the Big Stick hidden-
that was the motivation to make changes. That and the fact
that I knew Chrisitne is an Artist herself
(and a Damn fine one)
so, I tried to step back, and see things from
her side of the monitor screen.
That's why I'm trying to make changes.

NOW I KNOW THIS IS THE PART OF ANY SITE
PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY READ...BUT PLEASE READ IT ALL...
BECAUSE I REALLY AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN SOME AREAS
...1,000's OF EXTRA EYES OUT THERE THAT CAN SPOT SOMETHING
THAT I'M MISSING AND COVERING THE NET
IN A FEW MINUTES Vs ME SEARCHING FOR HOURS ON END.

When you get to the end of this page
there will be 2 links-please go there and read these pages.
They are friendly and informative in a good way.

We all use animated gifs & things from all over
the web, and I'm no exception. And we all use
images because they seem to be widely used
anyway, and, who's going to invest the $$$
in trying to sue a little personal site that
makes no profit? That's generally true,
but we/I still should be finding the owners
if we/I can and ask for a "OKAY".
I also learned that changing an image to make it a
"new" work means it would have to be so distorted
from the original, or, using one little segment of an image
that is so non-distinct, that it can't
be identified with the original-HARD to do.


So, Please visit THIS page andTHISpage.
