Good one, although Mac bashing is political on this board.

Cool

I got those pics from Retropolis. Great site!

Glad you liked it!

But I do wish that you wouldn't post modified versions of the images. I add my name and URL so that they won't pop up all over the web with no indication of where they came from.

 

[ITL]

Sorry about that! I just cropped them from the poster images - I didn't realize I was modifying them in the way you mentioned. Again, my apologies.

 

[Retropolitan]

My latest strategy is to make it easier to copy the images, but with the attribution on them. It's sort of a paradox that by making it harder to copy them you force the user to use graphic editing tools, so they're likelier to get modified.

This has been a much bigger problem with some of my other work. What happens is that the images show up unattributed in so many places that people assume they're not copyrighted - which might be one reason the low res images get reproduced and even printed on merchandise.

Anyhow, like I said - glad you like Retropolis!

I absolutely see your point.

If you wish, I could remove the images from my original post. Not a problem.

And yes, Retropolis is a great site!

I'm not asking that you remove them, but you might replace them either with the unaltered images, or links to the originals. Those would be:

^ Ah, now I understand! Those weren't the images I used, hence the lack of the black info-bar on the bottom. I used the ones from the poster section - they had no black bar, therefore I didn't remove it.

But you're right - the attribution (which I was unaware of) should be there. So I'll edit my original post as you suggested.

 

[Retropolitan]

Yikes! They're meant to use the same images - I better look into that. Thanks!

But was it really?

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth of some, yes, yes it was.

Anywho.

Nice. As I was watching that I said "What f'd up Satanic bootleg version of 'Fiddler on the Roof' do they have up in Canada?"

Great opening ceremonies. The light displays were fantastic, but it was a bummer after that flawless performance for that one torch pillar not to rise.
