Barry Altman and Commodore USA

[Piru]

He claims that he used of images he didn't create, after searches to find the content owner were friutless, and that he would still like to contact the images' creator.

Can you elaborate this? Does he really think it's ok to use graphics and designs if he cannot contact the author? I can't believe any CEO to that out of touch with reality.

This is just totally outrageous.

I would very much like that you ask him if he thinks copyright is a joke to him. Also he might be interested to read 10 Big Myths about copyright explained.

As for not being able to contact the Marko Hirv... Well he isn't exactly hiding you know, he works as Art Director at Taevas, estonian advertising company. I believe this is him: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adelltaevas/2440196147/ and here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/adelltaevas/2441025952/

CUSA's websitehas been redesigned to eliminate to borrowed artwork so many of you were offended by.

All the borrowed artwork appears to be there, still.

Obviously the Amiga Fantasy render by Marko Hirv (but now attributed only as inspiration, rather than actual computer model)

Obviously some of it might be used with permission. Perhaps.

Note how some of the pictures have been retouched to remove the original labels. For instance the HP Mini 100e picture has the HP logo and product name removed. I doubt HP is too happy about this, at least their Terms Of Use appear to prohibit it.

Oh btw, here's the Commodore TOTEBOOK:
