(I hope people don't read this as me picking a fight. I'm not. I'd just hate to see YWS run into trouble over something silly and preventable like copyright infringement.)


Meep, I'm in law school for a reason and I always contact the author.

Check the copyright notice at the bottom of that site.

Then look at these:

Or how about this rather interesting one?:

Then look at the image creation date. Digital Uprising's dates to July 2007.

Of the one's above, the earliest by far is:

But even though all the other ones are alterations of that, it still can't be the original. But after contacting the admin of DMBH, he pointed me to...

Don't worry Meep. Your heart was in the right place. :) I'm pretty sure since it is a photomanipulation as long as you give credit to the original creator it's fine. But people can be pretty idiotic about copyright infringment.

Looks Cool Nate.
