In these times that can try one's soul,
so pleasing to report that there are still honest
people in the world as well as on the internet.
October 12, 2011, discovered to my fury that
someone had used one of my illustrations on
a CD cover for sale on a website from India.
Initially, though figuring this a losing proposition
on top of the theft, I sent a scathing email message
to the site. Documented the theft with the original
and stolen (and slightly Photoshopped) images.

Expecting no response, imagine my surprise upon
receiving not only a reply, but an apology
and immediate offer to pay for the art usage,
remove the CD covers in question and investigate
the art agency involved.
And only 2 days later, agreement reached.
Payment by PayPal and they have dropped the errant
agency responsible for the entire issue.

In today's world this is such a heartwarming
and encouraging experience. A conscientious
online merchant in a faraway jurisdiction.
The Internet providing the means of instant
communication and solution.
Remembering when just ordering a book from
London or Amsterdam required an international
banker and the better part of a year between
ordering and receiving.
