Copyright on the net?… Yeah right

Sometimes it’s strange what can follow having a blog.
Not only have I been asked to write a column (which I agreed to), but a few days ago, someone contacted me to ask permission to use one of my pictures. And, mind me, not one of the sceneries or similar (that I find best), but this one of my dusty CPU heatsink that I forgot all about. Seems that a newfound IT company wants to use it as an example (of bad heatsinks I guess).
Cool with me and I of course agreed as I would with most pictures. As long as they were without me, the missus, friends, family etc. on it. When I’m asked first, it’s not a biggie. I’m a nice guy…. really!
At least they asked nicely unlike another blogger I ran into who just “stole” this picture and didn’t have the decency to say sorry or even reply when I confronted him/her with a comment on his/her blog. Now I lost the link to the blog, so don’t even know if I ever got a reaction.
