I do think this is mildly amusing, but that might be the little bit of sadism that does reside in me. Exposing people who are (criminally) using photos that don't belong to them (because the famous people are covered by "fair use", but not illegal use) is pretty cool. Except ... does the crime they're committing open them up to: 1) Retribution from you, who isn't the person whose photos are being fraudulently used? 2) That portion of their time being wasted? If one of them was using Khloe Kardashian's photo and you were Khloe, I'd say: "Spot on" I will admit this: I've gotten a few of those calls where some guy named "Stephen" with a very thick Indian accent tells me that his control center is getting messages from my computer that there are some security issues. I usually respond with: "Oh, no! What can I do?!?!" While he's explaining to me that he can "help" me if I just allow him remote access to my computer, I have the home phone muted while I'm calling the S.B.I. with my cell phone and reporting him. Then, I put the home phone on speaker and I allow the Trooper to hear the things these idiots say to me. When I asked him how he managed to call me and have MY home number come up on my caller ID, I was treated to some of the most vile name calling one could imagine. The Trooper told me that, based upon his being able to hear, if they ever do get hold of that particular company, that charges of "race crimes" will be added. Now, to be fair, I have always been one to mess with telemarketers. I know they only have a job to do. I only mess with them, when they're actually interrupting something important. The other day, I was in the studio, recording in the phone rang. That poor young lady spent 20 minutes trying to sell me something I had no intention of buying. Well, I knew I had no intention. I must have made her repeat the simplest details about eight times before finally telling her what she'd interrupted and I was happy to have wasted her time as she'd wasted mine. Michael
