The image shown here illustrates the dangers of copyright violation.
Some years ago, a major corporation licensed it from an authorized agent of mine to use for a year in a new product rollout. Before using it, they made some minor changes with Photoshop. Then it was widely seen in ads for that year.
Last year, I engaged a copyright detective, who discovered the altered image on products all around the world. Slowly, he has brought the unlicensed users into compliance.
The lesson is that even when you think you are carefully protecting a valuable image, a third party can leak it onto the Internet and other people will use it for commercial purposes.
Maddened attack is now home with me so that I can try to protect it...
