Hmm, this reminds me of when Sony Techno in Japan used the Jimi Tenor disco-
graphy (
http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb/tenor.html) compiled by me on their Web
page (
http://www.sme.co.jp:80/Music/Info/SonyTechno/featureE/9703/disco.html) +
also the record sleeve images I had received from my mate Samu Mielonen.
OK, this guy representing Sony wrote to me afterwards to ask the permission
(note: after they had already put the discog to their page), and I didn't know
what to do except say to yes, since I just thought it's great if it can give
more international coverage to Jimi, being a local Finnish artist who I want
to naturally support any way I can. Later I got some second thoughts about
this thing, though. I was honoured but I only wish they would have just
credited me there or linked my page, not to even talk about paying me for my
efforts... (As they say, I'm not greedy but it's just a question of
principle... ;)
In your case, Gonzi, we are talking about another private individual ripping
off your page, but Sony is a goddamn multinational corporation, for fuck's
sake! I've given this thing a bit thought lately, and I don't really know what
I ought to do. (Of course, I'm not the guy to cast the first rock with what
comes to copyrights, but at least I just maintain my page as a fan only; I
don't do business or gain any commercial profit from pHinnWeb, if I can say
anything for my defense - read:

Good luck, Gonzi, and hope you'll get the right to what justifiably belongs
to you.
