whizzy -- lots of good points :)

I'm pretty intrigued now whether rights can be 
retroactively suspended or not. I think they can 
be but I have no proof as of yet. It's an 
interesting discussion because the idea of 
copyrighted works in regards to fine art and 
commercial art should technically be the same 
(except for ill-defined "fair use" even though 
commercial property can be used that way too). 
If, for instance, you bought the rights to use 
the "eBay logo" then I think you have every right 
to demand that the current eBay suspend usage of 
that logo. But fine art? hmm? It's fuzzy probably 
only because I don't know the details. I'll have 
to do some more research.

Still, I have to back up the original poster by 
saying -- if that person who took the images has 
made it a (nice!) habit of asking permission from 
online galleries, I think that that should be 
followed through even if the images appear on 
ebay. All these sites are public. I'm not sure if 
I had made it clear in my previous post.
