Stolen? Sure?
I remember a discussion on a forum (A.ORG/AMIGAWORLD??) a person who was trying to contact the author of this picture.
He may be found to ask the rights to use this picture, right?
I am wrong?
In any case, I do not agree with COMMODOREUSA who are using AMIGA/C64 cases  to 'make' some uninteresting PC.

Which verifies that the least they used the picture without permission, very well knowing it is wrong. The person trying to contact Marko is the company "CTO".

BTW, some googling reveals the Marko Hirv is an art director, or at least has worked as such recently. I believe this is his work: http://eral.vertical.ee/arhiiv/index.php?page=entry&id=54&year=2007&type=ad

If they had obtained permission then why obliterate the artist's name from the image?

Apparently there's enough stupidity on Commodore USA's part to go around!  Lets watch while a few more threads pop up!
