I have no problem with you, or anyone else using the image, but please host it yourself and ask permission first. Bandwidth costs money and this is doubly true for those of us that actually run their own websites without advertising revenue. As for licensing the picture-- it's not necessary that I do so. It falls within the fair use policy of US copyright law. Amusingly enough this same doctrine makes in line linking of other's images against the law in the US. Hit up wikipedia for more information if you're curious.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use IK Hi other Ian,

Apologies for nicking some of your bandwidth - I didn't know this as I'm not technically proficient enough plus the image was all over MySpace anyway - I merely borrowed it from several other people who also must have borrowed it - a common MySpace thing. Yours is the first comment/complaint I have ever received. I presume that you licensed the image from the film company? ID Hi Ian,
