Heads up, folks. A website called MediaMiner.org is recently taking art from other sites without the permission of the artists concerned. Recently, they tapped into a global short story archive and took several thousand stories without the permission of the authors. In the past, they've been known to take art as well. The reason I'm mentioning this is because this is a commerical site, and they use that fact to bring in revenue for them via ads and special services. They give the creators a token mention, but nothing else. This is unfair, to say the least. Some of my stuff was taken, and I've been complaining to them already. You may want to ensure your works are not violated either. -Rob

UPDATE: after several thousand furious mails from people, the webmaster of MM.org solved the problem. Apparently there was some legitimate misunderstanding involved, and the problem (in as far as I know) has been taken care of.
