here's an email i got from a company about image copyrights. i thought ah damn, probably some picture i stole. so i read over it real quick (too quick) and it said something about picture of the suspension on my website. i'm like ya, try and sue me, i took that picture myself. i'll take 5 more to prove it. so i read the email again.
-------------------

I work for the company Crocodile Clips Limited which creates educational software based on the national curriculum in the UK. We are currently building a CD-Rom called Absorb Physics for A Level.

I am interested in an image that I found on your website. It is taken from the section on your 240SX and appears next to the caption KYB AGX Adjustable Struts/Shocks and Sprint Lowering Springs (URL: http://240sx.whateverjames.com/).

Could you please inform me of the requirements for obtaining written permission to use this image? We would happily credit you and your website. As I have a lloming deadline (tomorrow!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> a quick response would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you for your help,

Frances Ambler

now that's cool that they want to use my picture of the suspension on the 240SX, but man. it's kind of a bad picture! and you can see where i tried to clean it up but missed a million spots. if the person would have asked me sooner i would have taken a better picture, but like they said, the deadline is tommorrow.

very off topic, but very strange for a company that (i assume) is similar to howstuffworks.com to contact me for that picture. haha.

Now remember who gave you the idea to make them pay, so I should at least get a few grand &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
