COPYRIGHT ISSUES, RICHARD/ALL READ PLEASE!!

Just want to let you know I replaced the offending picture with a new one I made.
I apologize with the author of that picture, Linda Bergkvist. Although I never intended to use her work without permission I should have asked where this picture came from before using it.
Although my new picture is not as good as hers, I think that being made of the same materials, it matches better with the ships and makes the whole shipset more consistent. http://se4kdy.cyberwars.com/downloads/ygath/

good show Lescano, I think your work is much more in spirit with the rest of the art on the shipset and in the game, while still capturing the feeling of the other artists subject matter.

Wasn't there supposed to be a new standard / technology coming out that would digitally sign / identify a pic? IIRC, it was something like a section of the image with a microscopic (0.00001 pixel) sized signature (or thumbprint or something like that).

Has anyone else heard of this or am I losing my mind (or living in "my own private Idaho").

rdouglass, if you're losing your mind then so am I because I have also heard of that standard/technology.

I did a web search on 'watermark' and found this URL.

Pretty cool stuff.

I agree with Argh. Very good points. You must always ask for permission before using someone else's work.
