Attempted theft of your images.
My nephew called the other day to say that one of the snaps he had taken on the estate here - a neat one of the zinfandel grapes near harvest - had been used for profit. Though he had released the picture under a Creative Commons license, he had omitted […]
More disappointments.
This follows on from Part I and Part II. To date I have been using the 30 day trial of Aperture 2.0.
