Thanks for looking out, but that was a planned feature that Tony knew about.

hey... just a heads up to point out something interesting after reading the "editing and cropping" accusations, especially if you were concerned with something like this happening again... if you go on google image search and type "lexus gs exe", this image shows up on the first page of the completed search:




heres the search page: http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...h+Images&gbv=2


no watermarks, no cropping needed, same image he used on his listing. im not posting this because i agree with the way the dude used the image without permission, so try not to get on my back about pointing it out. just mentioning because of the amount of times it was said that that guy edited the picture and removed markings. he used the pic without the courtesy of asking permission first for sure, but its not "protected content" in its current form and he didnt have to edit it to get it to look the way it does up there at all.

Tony, looks like you need to up the game and get an official copyright.

lol yeah i guess, the pics on the filmstrip at the bottom of the feature had the watermarks lol. i guess i missed the main pics. either way, pics were taken for the purpose of that feature. no need to go back and accuse anyone of anything anymore. the situation has been taken care of. it all comes down to permission and acknowledgement
