Brian, let me start off by saying I love you.

O.k. that out of the way, I am wondering how them using your artwork hurts you? They don't appear to be making any money from it. They linked to you so you get traffic. Is it just the fact that they didn't ask?

It is your artwork so you are right in this situation no matter what.


Just asking.
