Blaine and Paul,

    I also have had tower pictures copied. But the most bizarre thing is 
that I I state that they can be copied without prior permission, if they 
give me credit. Sezs so on each page. So someone made a Wikipedia page 
of a radio station here in Michigan, and they used my picture, giving me 
credit. Proper, and I'm happied up. But Wikipedia threw a fit, saying 
that the picture could not be used. I emailed the folks at Wikipedia and 
told them that the author had my express approval to use the pictures, 
but Wiki said no. That site and how it is controlled gets stranger by 
the day.

    Then I had a morning show crew who hired a professional photographer 
to take pictures of them in one of my studios. Two weeks later, they 
leave for a commercial radio station, and the picture was taken as their 
main publicity shot. Kinda cool, as it showed my Logitek board, which 
their new engineer would not know how to install. Anyway, I sent them a 
note that the pose was copyrighted by me. It took a second email, but 
they finally pulled the picture.
    Kids..
