*sigh*
Dear Mr. Cummings:
Thank you for your prompt removal of The Far Side cartoon from http://www.pepperguy.com/cummings/noseguns.jpg. However, I must also ask you to remove the smaller version of the cartoon from http://www.pepperguy.com/cummings/misc.htm. Thank you again for your compliance with Mr. Larson’s wishes.
Sincerely,
Andrea Fryrear

You can’t even read the caption on it…. but, um… ok. This just makes me laugh! That tiny little thumbnail must be cheating Creators Syndicate (and shouldn’t that be “Creator’s Syndicate” if it’s a syndicate OF the creators?) out of so much moola… what a waste of their efforts. Then again, I suppose it is a violation of copyright, but then, so are all these.

Ms. Fryrear has a lot of work ahead of her!

Try removing the words “Far Side” from the page. Also, use a blur filter, and increase the blur by one step each time you get a message.
Or, just reduce the image size for each letter. What is the minimum number of pixels that can be copyrighted?
Dang! Approximately 213,000 results from the Google search and she picks your Blog. Well now, aren’t YOU the popular one?!?!?!
