Thirdly,
I'm genuinely not sure how to
proceed on this matter. This website
guy has still not really said whether
or not he claims to own the copyright
to this image, or to have licensed it
from somebody who does.
If he holds the copyright to that image
then I hold the copyright to the King
James Bible.
Assuming that you are not, indeed, the current incumbent of the British
Throne (otherwise, gosh, greetings, Your Majesty. :-)), I agree, but
that doesn't mean that the image is not under copyright; indeed, the
image is almost certainly under copyright, as PD works are rare outside
of the United States for things newer than the 1920s.
Anyway, I agree, this... 'individual' seems to be quite taken with
invective about other's attitude to 'his' website. Perhaps he feels that
his content has already been "stolen" (eurgh, it's intellectual
property; it cannot be stolen unless the creator no longer has access to
it) by us in some way, and is so very affronted? I cannot imagine that
anyone would fly off the handle quite so much at the simple instigation
of a request for permission...
