It is clear that your intentions are well meaning, and that you have approached it prudently. But while I don't mean to sound argumentative raven (really) it was not an issue of taking credit. Rather, I was addressing an artist's right to control publication and distribution of their original work. Just because someone removes an item that they had previously posted, it remains no one else's right to choose to redistribute that work without permission. Although it is indeed likely that it was just abandoned, it may have been removed by him intentionally for any number of reasons to which we are not privy. For example, JKeller may have removed the work because he is intending to start selling it. Or, he may never have had the right to post it in the first place and was asked to remove it. In either case, reposting the work without permission would not be in the artists best interest. and again, is not our decision to make. The custom in this community in the past has been in all cases, if it is not your work, it is not your right, and it is not your choice. (but 'nuff said - not my work, not my site & I ain't no copyright sheriff) ;-)
