enough is enough and its time for a change

Hi,

Just wanted to post, because this is completely hilarious... Being a gamer myself, and an artist, I took interest in this.

My illustration professor (furthemore, the artist who did the piece of work you ripped from the internet for your header) showed us your site today as a good example of copyright infringement, and the potential consequences of it.

Just because you aren't making money doesn't mean it's illegal. Go to Blockbuster and steal a DVD - take it home and copy it for personal use. You might not be making money, but it's still illegal, isn't it?

I'm glad you've agreed to take it down, but I know for a fact it wasn't because 'you two discussed it'. I hope you enjoy the cease and desist letter you received, and know the fact that the work itself belongs, in fact, to a well known gaming corporation.

I hope you've learned your lesson. Just because you found it on Google Images doesn't make it FREE.

Have a nice day.

I never recieved any "Cease and Desist" letter. I am removing it because of what him and I discussed(he wanted us to use his original art, and it wouldn't fit with our colors), and if you'd like me to post you what he and I discussed, PM me. Sounds to me like you're either making things up, or he's lying to you, but for what reason, I do not know.

We already had a new header setup to go with our new website, which is why I decided that rather than put up the original image as he requested, we'll go ahead and use our new header here very soon.

And no, we broke no laws.

We already had a new header completed for the new site, so there is no need to ask or employ Shane to edit our current header to fit his and our requirements. Instead, we will just remove his artwork, and put up our new header soon.

He and his original work are respected, as well as his and our wishes.

Case settled, and closed.
