Isn't it rediculous that you have to resort to inserting digital watermarks for all the hard work that you put into the HOL, just because somebody has to do something like this

Heh. I've bought something from this guy some time ago, he's a nice one I guess it's just that he always uses the same template for his ebay auctions, so he probably just forgot to change the credit now that he's started using HOL

i would of asked permission before doing something like this...
...although it could be considered bad, there is some benefit to someone doing this.... it increases the visits from REAL amiga owners... a good thing mindyou... you wont catch me selling Amiga stuff!!! |

Well you have two options. Watermark the images (RCK made many good sugegstions for this already) or quit the project if it bugs you this much.
The internet is like this, and these people don't give a fuck about whatever harm they do. |

I know some people do the right thing, but Joe Bloggs browsing the internet uses not to give a damn about this kind of stuff...
