uh oh!!

That was exactly my thought too, Eric.

interesting

Kris will fighting this stuff off for years!! Sounds like he'll need a full time copyright lawyer, sheesh.

:mad:

I'll get PHR's legal department on this one. I didn't place a copyright on it since it was for PHR, so it is probably their battle on this one.

If you guys remember that polish company that used one of my renderings for their box art, I'm still waiting to see what comes of that. My lawyer hasn't gotten back to me in a good while...so we'll see!

Kris

You need to contact your lawyer anyway. On both cases. Your name is on the picture in question here. It's right under the car in plain view.

I saw that too, Allen. Have you trademarked your name, Kris? That could be another violation.

Its disgusting to see others benefiting from your work Kris. Someone probably paid big bucks to have a webmaster design that website. Rather than do the work themselves they just rip off your work from the PHR's website.

I know its common, still ticks me off. :mad:

Scott,

My name's not trademarked yet, though that's a good idea.

The problem I ran into with the boxes was that my work wasn't a registered copyright. It's still copyrighted work, but had it been registered, they would have been fined in the hundreds of thousands...so lesson learned.

As for this one, I will talk to my lawyer and see what he says.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention David!
