Up until yesterday that picture in question STILL had our company name clearly & visibly watermarked in it, even after all this time - something <a href="http://zymetricalblog.com/blog/2007/05/09/this-week-in-plagiarism" rel="nofollow">screenshots</a> & timestamped source code confirm. That said, your actions clearly indicate that you have no intention of removing the rest of our other intellectual property as they don't have said watermarks, which is honestly, whatever. You did remove the text, which is all we truly cared about in the first place. Really. So thank you for that, and our apologies if you misinterpreted the tone and/or sarcasm in any of our posts, or even here. Regarding the validity of your other statement, a more apples / apples comparison would be us trying to pass off the Velvet Underground (Lou Reed) song as our own, as you were doing with our property on monkeypoo, and not simply using that song as background as millions of other people do on youtube & the like. Or like we did in our crappy beverlyhills <a href="http://zymetricalblog.com/blog/2006/03/15/rock-on/" rel="nofollow">"cover"</a> and year and a half ago. Enough said.

Enough said.

And yet, they are still live on your site, as this is being typed. You should at least remove those before you troll.

Nice. So self righteous about protecting your own copyrighted images/text, yet you blatantly rip one of Lou Reed’s songs for use on your commercial website. Nice.
