# don't know yet
don't know the context either - but gonna buy it tomorrow out of curiosity!

edit: looking at the pic, it looks like it says 'From Miss M......' or something like that, which certainly isn't me!

edit2: looking again, looks like I've made 'something' of the week, but I can't make it out

# Litigation
Just claim they've taken your memories away. It's left you feeling bewildered and lost. Worked for the bloody Zeta-Jones mob

# well no,
my case was that i hand drew my image,
as the likelihood is that your images originated from other's photographs you'll be less likely to receive any payment.

# argh
Well of couse I didn't draw any of it - the bull is from that famous viral close-up photo of the spanish bull-street-chase thingy. And the bungee pic was just a random source.

Still - creative copyright - worth a shot?

# maybe,
but they have a lot more money to spend on needless law suits so i found from word of mouth i was probably lucky to receive what i did considering i was owed a lot more.

not that arsed really - just quite a surprise when I got the text!

# hmm, wonder what I can get for my To Me To You Beatles image
I was bored one afternoon and trawled through several pages of internutter and found a shitload of b3tan images, so I emailed whoever runs b3tabank my findings, which they appear to have added to the stolen list
